Simon Mayo has taken on a new role as host of a classical music show on brand new station Scala Radio.

The former BBC Radio 2 presenter, who stepped down from his co-hosting gig on the station's drivetime slot last year after nearly two decades, has bagged himself a slot on the new station.

Scala Radio describes itself as a “new place for classical music” and is part of Bauer Media, which is also home to Hits Radio.

Here is everything you need to know about Mayo's new show.

Listeners can tune in to Mayo’s show from 10am until 1pm from Monday through to Saturday, so there are plenty of opportunities to catch Mayo on-air.

The mid-morning show will include celebrity interviews from across the music, literary and art worlds and will also see the return of his famous confessions feature.
