Lauren Laverne is to replace Shaun Keaveny on BBC 6 Music's breakfast show, it has been announced.

Keaveny and his co-presenter Matt Everitt will move to the afternoon, taking the slot currently occupied by Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie.

In turn, they will move to weekend breakfast, while Mary Anne Hobbs gets promoted to weekday mid-mornings.

Smug and pretentious doesn’t really do Maconie and Radcliffe justice, I’m glad they will be on when I don’t listen to 6 music.

Reverse for me I like Radcliffe. Will miss Keaveny in the morning as a staple for me. But wow he has done 11 years getting at silly o'clock so he should get his life back.

I heard this recently and really got the idea of the damage doing night/early work can do for you.

Pleased that the evening schedules remain intact. To be honest I listen to most of the content on catch up.

I enjoy RadMac and Keaveny, not so sure about Mary Anne Hobbs, alright in small doses. Will be interesting to see how Laverne's show copes with the early morning slot, will be very different to Keaveny.

Yes and the latest listening figures had all the morning and daytime slots getting over 1 million listeners. Will be interesting to see if this can go up further.

Does the chain continue as a weekly longest running slot now.

Sorry to be losing RadMac from that 1-4 PM slot, keeps me going whilst working from home. Keaveney shows little interest in the music and his interviews are pure sycophancy.

I wonder if they will give Matt Everitt more of a joint role to focus on the music side

I doubt it will be as happy and cheerful.

Absolute nonsense, they are great. A good listen IMHO and I frequently alternate between them and Hawksbee and Jacobs on Talksport depending on my music/sports chat wishes.

Keaveny is OK but does go on sometimes.....interesting to see if he chnages his approach in thre pm slot.


BBC 6 is oK for me, the only BBC music channel I can tolerate.

Difference of opinion, i rarely listen to them on Radio 6, cod, I don’t like them, and Radcliffe ruined the Radio 2 folk show.

Wish the talented Mark Radcliffe all the best.

Yes sounds like they have caught it early, he is talking about making a good recovery and back in the new year.

I look forward to hearing his output again in 2019.

Always good to get any symptoms checked out early.

Facts about tongue cancer

It can either affect the oral tongue, or the base of the tongue.

Symptoms include:

A persistent red or white patch
Pain when swallowing
Unexplained bleeding
A sore throat that does not go away
A numbness in the mouth

These symptoms could also arise from a less serious condition but are often triggered by drinking alchool and smoking.

Wish Mark a speedy recovery and look forward to hearing him back on the radio soon. Like most 6 music DJ's he is very knowledgeable and it is clear he loves his music. Think he is one of the best around and will be missed for a few months.

I loved 'Out on blue six' on Radio 1 many years ago and the Graveyard Shift which was his next show...

Speedy recovery Mark

I wish Mark Radcliffe all the best in his fight against the Big C, Always enjoyed his music selections, he goes a long way back with the late great John Peel, and I even had the pleasure of having a chat with him at a Damned gig in Manchester about 15 years ago & finding out he loves the Cramps, he told me that he had a hand in recording the Meteors, The Milkshakes & Guanbatz peel sessions at Abby Road, during the early 80s championing a much maligned music genre...

Wish the talented Mark Radcliffe all the best.

Absolutely. I’ve listened to him virtually all my adult life, from Hit the North, Five live, Radio 1 and 2 etc. He was perfect with Lard, and he’s pretty good with Maconie.

Baffled by how they could be considered pretentious. Smug? well maybe a bit sometimes but they are very entertaining...
