He pointed to his long connection with Yorkshire audiences and familiarity with the music played on the station.<\/p>\n<p>Nation\u2019s Group Programme Director Neil Greenslade said Griffo had already made an impression through his weekend work, adding that moving him into mid-mornings felt like a natural progression for both the presenter and the station.<\/p>\n<p>From a commercial perspective, the station says the commitment to local presenters strengthens its offer to advertisers. Helen Nolan, Commercial Director for Yorkshire, said the approach provides a clear alternative at a time when other stations are reducing locally made content, giving businesses a platform rooted in the communities they serve.<\/p>\n<p>The changes underline Nation Radio Yorkshire\u2019s strategy of investing in local voices throughout the day, reinforcing its focus on regional relevance as the station heads into this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nation Radio Yorkshire will switch to an entirely local daytime programming line-up from Monday 5th January 2026.
