Another one bites the dust

Times Radio has signed up Mariella Frostrup as it heads towards a launch on 29th June. She'll host the early afternoon, Monday to Thursday. It'll be "a show focusing on arts, culture and social issues, plus celebrity interviews", which sounds uncannily like that offered by Nihal Arthanayake on Radio 5 Live at the same time of day.

Ms Frostrup (57, school of hard knocks) started out with BBC Radio back in the days of Radio 5, co-hosting Sunday Brunch with Simon Fanshawe, and her own health and fitness phone-in, Top to Bottom. Open Book, on Radio 4, started in 2002, and has since notched up 545 editions, with three more still to come.
