Breakfast gender

There's a way to go on Tony Hall's target of 50% female presentation on BBC local radio breakfast shows. As we start the working New Year proper (at least in broadcasting schedules), there are still only two solo female hosts - Emma Britton, Somerset, and Liz Green, Leeds (covered this morning by Georgey Spanswick) - and one to come, Etholle George at Suffolk - out of 41.

Since my August snapshot, there are also two new stations opting for the co-presentation route. In Cornwall, James Churchfield has been joined by Pam Spriggs, and at Humberside there's a new pairing of Lizzie Rose and Carl Wheatley.

Still I reckon at least 10 shows need to make changes by the end of the year to meet the target. Come on, Holdsworth.
