The Hits Radio will have a new voice from Monday afternoon when Jesse Archer takes up the noon to 3pm time slot.
Archer will be replacing Darryl Mallet as host across the Manawatu as Mallet leaves his 15 year radio career to start a new business.
"Jesse has a lot of experience," says Mallet.
"He has recently worked as a producer at Radio Live and he worked at 1XX in Whakatane.
"More recently he has worked in Te Puke and he is coming here from Tauranga."
The Hits manager, Todd Campbell said Archer should be settled in Palmerston North by early October.
