5Live Controller Heidi Dawson is moving Nicky Campbell, now 60, to a two hour weekday phone-on from 0900. He's also getting a new podcast, which presumably will help to maintain his salary close to its current £300k pa. Subsequent changes to the schedule have not been announced; nor has a new Breakfast partner for Rachel Burden.
Nicky started at Breakfast on Monday 13th January 2003, taking Julian Worricker's seat alongside Victoria Derbyshire, under Controller Bob Shennan. In 2008, he acquired the 0900 phone-in (from Victoria's custody) under Controller Adrian Van Klaveren, with a deal that saw him join Breakfast an hour later than the rest of the crew.
