Can't say I'll miss Darren Grimes and his show. Guessing Calvin Robinson will be his replacement in that slot, it'll probably be a similar style cultural and religious show which makes sense otherwise you have basically the same shows on repeat.

I can’t say British broadcasting is missing a lot with Darren Grimes timely exit, nor the others.
I did enjoy seeing GB News achieve the status of zero viewers the other morning in their ‘most popular’ Breakfast slot. Amateurs at their best.

Worth noting that Colin and Alex seemingly weren't told the news until they were off-air.

Alex signed off on Wednesday by saying she'd be back at the same time tomorrow (twice!) and then was never seen again. Similarly, no reference to anything out of the ordinary as Colin closed his Wednesday show. Peculiar state of affairs.

It’s often standard practice in commercial radio for presenters to only be told after their last show that it’s their last.
Probably to stop moments like this.

I wouldn't be surprised if Alex and Colin end up on Talk TV.

To be fair, he quit live on air.

The new schedule from Monday appears to be up with GB Newsday with Mark Longhurst & Gloria De Piero at 12.
Patrick Christys taking 3-6. But they still have Christys with Mercy at 10.
