Presenter Declan Wilson
Popular presenter Declan Wilson is set to begin a brand-new morning show on Downtown Radio.
The announcement comes as the station enjoys impressive ratings with the latest figures showing more than 300,000 listeners tuning in, every week.
Recently, Declan, from Belfast, a former breakfast show presenter on Q Radio, has hosted shows on both Downtown and BBC Radio Ulster.
Declan said it was simply an honour to be part of Downtown.
"Downtown is the home of great music and I’m so proud to call it my radio home too,” he said.
“I'm genuinely delighted to be making the move to Downtown full time. So many broadcasting legends have passed through Downtown's corridors over the years and to be now part of this iconic radio station’s daytime lineup, is truly an honour.
“I also know Downtown has the most incredibly loyal and dedicated listeners. It has been a privilege getting to know them over the past year covering different shows."
