When Nightowls on Metro ended in 2019, there was a specially extended show that ran from 7pm.
It was a superb production, featuring lots of interviews with old Metro staff, that not only commemorated the finale of the late night phone-in but also served as a fitting end point for Metro itself.
From that point on, the local identity, which of course had already been diluted, has been the thinnest of thin facades. This news is long overdue.
We'll see if the Hits Radio brand can stand on its own merits and format, with the benefit of national marketing.
