Noreen Khan is the new presenter for the Weekend Breakfast Show on the BBC Asian Network.

Currently presenting the Asian Chart Show on Saturday afternoons, Noreen will replace Tommy Sandhu, who is taking over the weekday Drivetime Show 3pm – 6pm.

Noreen said,:“I’m really excited about waking up the nation on the weekends. Whether you are going out to work, getting the children's parathas ready for breakfast, or having some me-time with a cup of tea, I'll wake you up with the best music and some fun, adding some bounce to your weekend!”

Noreen joined the station in 2007 to present the Chart Show but will takeover the new look Weekend Breakfast show from the 27 February.

Husain Husaini, Head of Programmes, BBC Asian Network, added: “Every time Noreen appears on the radio, our audience tells us how much they like her. They relate to her warm, friendly style and her love of Asian music and culture.”

There will be a more detailed new weekend line up announced in the next few weeks. As part of those changes Electro East with Nerm (Sunday, midnight-2am) and Pathaan’s Musical Rickshaw (Sunday, 2am-4am) will finish at the end of March.

“Nerm and Pathaan were the voices and the inspiration behind two unusual and creative programmes. We are proud of some of the magical musical moments they have been responsible for over their time at the Asian Network and we wish them well in the future.”

Earlier this month, the station made its initial 2010 schedule changes, when in addition to Tommy Sandhu’s new show, it announced that Sonia Deol will move from Friday afternoons to a new weekday Morning Show 10am – 12.30pm. Tommy and Sonia will begin their new slots from 8 February.
