Starting on Monday, 2 September, the station will introduce the new and improved lunch show, featuring Fresh by Caddy and Yvette Floss as they take over the lunch time with their midday slot from midday to 15:00.
According to the station, Yvette Floss has been a key player in the station’s line-up, previously hosting Nights Like This on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for the past two years. Her impressive track record also includes standing in for daytime presenters, showcasing her versatility and dedication to the station.
