Aasmah Mir, Stig Abell, Cathy Newman, and Jenny Kleeman have been confirmed as presenters for Times Radio ahead of its launch this summer, joining the previously announced John Pienaar.

Former BBC Radio 4 Saturday Live presenter Mir, who'll co-host the station's Breakfast Show with Abell, said 'The Times is a byword for quality journalism and this is an enviable opportunity to create compelling radio from scratch... I am genuinely excited. This is the programme I have been wanting to wake up to for years'.
