BBC Radio Oxford presenter Malcolm Boyden is to leave the station for a job at BBC Hereford and Worcester.

Mr Boyden, who joined the station in 2008, has presented the 10am to 1pm slot for three-and-a-half years.

He will present his final show on Friday.

BBC Oxford assistant editor Will Banks said: “Although Malcolm has loved Oxfordshire he has stayed living outside the area and it was a real journey in for him every day. We are sad to lose him.”
