Football presenter Adrian Chiles has a new expanded role at BBC Radio 5 Live as the top female presenters exit in the "biggest shake-up" to the station in years, according to Anthony Barnes of the PA. The 47-year-old, who is currently on World Cup duties in Brazil, "returned to the station last year after quitting the BBC to head to ITV." He "will now front the popular 10am show 5 Live Daily on Mondays and Tuesdays." On other weekdays, Peter Allen "will present the mid-morning show, moving from his position as co-host of the drivetime slot." Award-winning presenter Victoria Derbyshire "is to leave BBC Radio 5 live after 16 years, along with other popular and well-established names Richard Bacon and Shelagh Fogarty." Derbyshire, who has hosted a mid-morning show for a decade and prior to that hosted the breakfast slot, said she was moving to take up an unnamed "brilliant opportunity." The trio are moving in what the station says is the "biggest shake-up to its daytime schedule in years," which will kick in from October. BBC Radio Chief Football Correspondent Mike Ingham, who retires from commentary at the 2014 World Cup final, "will present 5 live football specials" throughout the '14-15 season. Plus, John Murray "will become the new football correspondent" (PA, 7/1).
