Five women

Good luck to Anna Foster, who starts as regular host of Weekend Breakfast on 5Live with Phil Williams this Saturday.   But it's a forthcoming female pairing on the station that still intrigues me.   From July, we are promised BBC Political Correspondent and non-stop tweeter Laura Kuenssberg, matched with Sam Walker (weekday afternoons on Key 103 in Manchester, BBC Manchester Saturday morning, and BBC Introducing Sunday night).   Their Sunday morning show will be called Double Take.

Laura is probably familiar to some readers - but I'm wondering where she'll be broadcasting from on Sunday mornings. Will she really want to be away from the Westminster hubbub ? Or is that the point of the show ?

For those less familar with Sam, here's her biography at Key 103, including "Radio Low ? Oh get a grip - this isn't a real job ! Stop complaining !"  Here's a link to her "Confessions" feature on the show.   Try Hospital Sex to get a flavour.  Sam also offers training in radio presentation, and will act as your manager.   She ought to be able to knock a few rough edges off Laura.
