Danielle Perry to host Saturday mornings on Scala Radio
Listen to Danielle from 6th January
Scala Radio has announced that Danielle Perry will host the station’s Saturday morning programme from this month (January 2024). The radio host and Mercury Music Prize judge is often found on the station covering for holidaying presenters as well as daily programmes on Jazz FM and Absolute Radio.
Danielle takes over the 10am-1pm Saturday slot from Angellica Bell, who shared with listeners on Saturday 30th December that she’ll be leaving the classical music station in order to focus on her new Saturday Breakfast show on Scala’s sister station, Magic Radio.
Angellica has been a much-loved weekend listen for classical music fans since Scala Radio’s launch in 2019.
Scala Radio and Jazz FM Content Director Nick Pitts said: "I want to take this opportunity to thank Angellica for everything she has done for Scala Radio since its launch in 2019. In sharing her passion for classical music, Angellica made the weekend mornings something truly special.
"It’s great news that she’s staying within the Bauer family and we can all look forward to hearing more of her brilliance over at Magic Radio."
Danielle Perry's first Saturday show will be on 6th January.
