Good news for those who have been mourning the loss of “Big” John Harrison, Liesl Soards and James Crookes, whose Hallam FM / Hits Radio Breakfast show was dropped earlier this year.

Despite a loyal fanbase and more than 25 years of broadcasting under their belt, the show was dropped as Hits Radio became a national network. Now they’re back with a 30 minute weekly show retaining the feel and style that made the show award-winning. Of course, unlike their radio broadcasting days, it’s Big John @ Breakfast every Friday, but you can listen at dinner, or on a Tuesday. Up to you.
