Classic FM, the UK’s most popular classical music station, announced today that Andrew Marr is joining the station to present a new Sunday morning programme (10am to 1pm), starting 8th January.
One of the nation’s most respected broadcasters, Andrew will bring his trademark vivid style, along with his passion for classical music, to the UK’s most popular classical music station for the three-hour programme.
In a change to his usual world of news and politics, listeners will get to enjoy Andrew in a different guise, as he plays the perfect selection of carefully curated music suited to the time of the week. Every Sunday morning, Andrew will pick out the finest recordings of classical favourites alongside new discoveries, celebrating a great range of orchestras and ensembles, hearing from listeners, and also including a cultural highlight happening in the UK that week.
He will present his new Classic FM show alongside his weekday political power hour programme on LBC and Global Player, Tonight with Andrew Marr, which airs Monday to Thursday, 6pm to 7pm.
“I am thrilled to be joining Classic FM, and rather pleased too to be back on-air on a Sunday morning.
As a long-time listener, and lifelong music lover I will be sharing my particular favourites and looking forward to building a relationship with one of the most loyal and diverse audiences in the country.”
Andrew Marr
“Andrew is an outstanding broadcaster and communicator who shares our vision to present the greatest classical music in a way that anyone and everyone can appreciate.
Now an established part of the Global family through his agenda-setting programme on LBC and Global Player, we are thrilled to welcome him to Classic FM and know that our listeners will thoroughly enjoy hearing him every Sunday.”
