Former BBC Breakfast presenter The Estate Of Bill Turnbull is to join Classic FM as the host of two new weekend programmes, beginning April 9.

Turnbull, who'll present Saturday and Sunday mid-mornings from 10am to 1pm, commented 'I am delighted to be joining Classic FM, with its distinguished line-up of presenters. It will be a real joy to turn from news to music, especially at a more civilised hour, and I'm looking forward to it very much'.
