BBC Radio 2 DJ Steve Wright has announced his weekday afternoon show is to end after more than 20 years.
Wright said Radio 2's boss had told him she wanted to do "something different" with his mid-afternoon slot.
He will be replaced by Scott Mills, who currently hosts afternoons on Radio 1, in a shake-up of the daytime schedule.
The new afternoon show, hosted by Mills, will be cut by an hour, while Sara Cox's drivetime show will be extended by an hour and start at 16:00.
Wright described Mills as a "brilliant and versatile" presenter.
As a result of the shake-up, Mills will leave Radio 1, which has been his home since 1998, and will also no longer present his Saturday morning show on Radio 5 Live.

I quite like Steve Wright, but mainly listen to BBC Local Radio. I only hope Scott Mills doesn't bring his Radio 1 playlist with him.
