Revamped Breakfast Show
On 2 August 2010 the station revamped the morning show by renaming it Breakfast Xpress and appointing Darren Simpson (also known as "Whackhead") as the new front-man in place of Jeremy Mansfield. Mansfield left the morning show (better known as "The Rude Awakening" or "RAW") in July 2010 stating "The show needs to move forward and I don't see a role for myself in the new product offering. Management and the board have asked if I would assist with off air initiatives, which I am happy to do for the foreseeable future.". The format of the new breakfast show remains largely unchanged with the rest of the original team remaining as is.

“I want a revamped feminism. Putting the vamp back means the lady must be a tramp. My generation of the Sixties rebels wanted to smash the bourgeois codes that had become authoritarian totems of the Fifties.... Thirty years later, we’re still stuck with the [”nice” girl].”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“As soon as we are born, if we could but get up, bath, dress, shave, breakfast once for all, if we could ‘cut’ these monotonous cycles of routine. If the sun rose it would stay up, or once we were alive we were immortal!”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
“I think the main thing, don’t you, is to keep the show on the road.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
