Kershaw returning to 6Music on Saturday
Liz Kershaw is to return to BBC 6Music on Saturday after her show was taken off air for rigging a phone-in competition.

She will come back in a different slot as part of a reorganisation of the day's schedule.

The show was put on hold in July when it was revealed that production staff had posed as competition winners on pre-recorded programmes.

That and other problems prompted the BBC to suspend all competitions.

David Dunn, a spokesman for 6Music, said her return followed the completion of inquiries into the revelation.

He said: "Liz Kershaw hasn't been on air while an inquiry was underway. Now it is completed she is returning to 6."

The reshuffle will put her show, previously 10am-1pm, from midday-2pm.

It will also see comedy duo Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish, who have previously filled stand-in slots on the station, get their first permanent show. It will run from 9am-midday.

Meanwhile, DJ Tom Robinson, who currently has shows on Monday and Tuesday, will get a new show between midnight on Saturday and 2am on Sunday.

Dunn said: "He will be playing music he has sourced himself from internet sites, so will really be playing new emerging bands."

The changes will all be in place from this Saturday.
