Early bird

Emma Britton is the first new female recruit to a BBC Local Radio breakfast show since the Tony Hall Quota ("It's a target" - Alan Yentob) was set.

Emma, pictured here on a Radio Somerset OB in Frome last week, moves from mid-morning to the slot on September 9; current presenter Matt Faulkner moves to drivetime, and drivetime's Ben McGrail moves to mid-morning. A gavotte, with no new female talent recruited, but, heigh-ho, job done.
