Former Close Up presenter Mark Sainsbury has been confirmed as the replacement host for Sean Plunket on RadioLive's morning show.
News of Plunket's departure broke last week, with insiders predicting Sainsbury would take the reins.
Mediaworks has now confirmed the move, which will see Sainsbury host the weekday morning show from February 1 next year.
Sainsbury has been filling in on RadioLive since 2013 and currently hosts a weekly show on Sunday mornings.
"I've really enjoyed doing my Sunday morning show and love radio, so the opportunity to take on a bigger role that gives me an even greater opportunity to connect directly with our audiences is one that I just couldn't turn down," he said in a statement.
