Heart Breakfast With Wes Venn - History and Overview

History and Overview

From 1998, the breakfast show on Horizon Radio was presented by “The Morning Crew”, made-up of Trevor Marshall, Andrew Whyatt-Sames (better-known as “Cueball”) and Ros Hale. The show won the GCap Media Breakfast Show of the Year award in 2003 and 2005, and the trio also had a Sunday morning slot on London's Capital FM for a time. When Marshall left in 2006, the show was rebranded as Cueball and Ros at Breakfast and ran for two years. Cueball bowed-out in 2008 in order to pursue a career as a Business Psychologist, shortly before the Heart rebrand, and was replaced by Wes Venn, who had previously presented the drivetime show. He was subsequently replaced by Joe Rudd; Lucy Ellis fronted Heart Drivetime up until the station's closure. Following Horizon’s transition to Heart, the breakfast show was rebranded once again, this time as Heart Breakfast with Wes and Ros, débuting on Monday 5 January 2009. On Friday 2 July 2010, Ros – the last connection to the Horizon Morning Crew – left the Milton Keynes station. The following Monday, she joined Heart Cambridgeshire to front their new breakfast show, Heart Breakfast with Kev and Ros. The Milton Keynes show was presented exclusively by Wes Venn until the station's merger with Heart stations in Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Dunstable. The final show aired on Friday 16 July 2010. The breakfast show on Heart Home Counties is presented by Stuart Miles and Natalie Besbrode, formerly of Heart Northants.
