    so what happens to David Andrews?

    Good news for Tony, a good reward after he was shafted from the Heart Bedford Breakfast Show earlier in the year.

    David Andrews hasn't been doing the show for too long, he lost his job at Capital Gold, let's hope he keeps his Weekend slot. Maybe he'll do Saturday & Sunday mornings 8am-1pm after Simon Bates leaves.

    As FM Lover mentions above, I wouldn't be surprised if David replaces Bates in January at the weekend.

    Not sure who??

    Do you think Gold would get rid of David Jensen and Dean Martin?

    it would be weird to drop presenters after a very good book last quarter. Plus they are promoting their existing line up very strongly as a package for the first time really in recent ads.

    Certainly not Dean, he's the main face of Gold these days at the Weekenders, Gold Cruise, etc...... there would be uproar.

    Dean is the only presenter I listen to on a regular basis.

    I heard that Jensen is supposed to be joining Smooth.

    I thought that Smooth had it's full quota of presenters, not sure where he'd fit in at the moment.

    If any show needs changing, it's breakfast. Erica as much as I like her just doesn't work well without Tony Blackburn in that slot.. If Jensen is off, I'd offer either James or Erica mid-mornings.

    A new breakfast presenter who can go up against Evans and Bates would be a starting point for Gold.

    Graham Dene ?

    Gold won't spend big money on presenters, my guess Paul Coyte will do breakfast, I read that Eamonn is taking over afternoons on Gold, so will David Andrews do drive? I think Dean would suit drive?

    Eamonn Kelly back now doing 12-5pm Sundays and will be doing 1-4pm Monday to Friday. Presumably David Andrews is leaving / left.

    Pat Sharp's taken over that slot with Graham removed from the Smooth website.
