Lisa Snowdon departs Capital breakfast
By Chris Cooke | Published on Monday 16 November 2015
Lisa Snowdon announced that she is leaving the breakfast show on London station Capital FM on Friday, after seven and a half years with the programme. Snowdon originally co-hosted Capital’s breakfast slot with Johnny Vaughan, and stuck around after Dave Berry joined the set-up.
Snowdon confirmed on Friday’s show that she will leave at the end of the year, subsequently telling RadioToday: “I’m very sad to be saying goodbye to our amazing listeners as I’ve had so much fun over the last seven and a half years and I’ll genuinely miss them all. But after seven and a half years getting up at 4.30am, I hope people agree that I’ve earned a lie in! Now it’s time for my next big adventure”.
Global’s broadcasting boss Richard Park added: “Lisa is leaving the Capital breakfast show after seven and a half years waking up London, the past four with her co-host Dave Berry. The pair have won all the major broadcasting awards and Lisa leaves Capital on a high as Dave & Lisa continue their reign as London’s number one at breakfast, winning the battle for the commercial breakfast top slot in London with one million listeners”.
He added that Snowdon would “remain part of the Global family”, which implies another show elsewhere on Global’s network of stations is on the cards. A reunion with Vaughan over on Radio X in the more palatable drive time slot perhaps?
