Heart 106.2 has hired four new presenters to add to its 2008 line-up.
The London station has poached Matt Wilkinson from Nottingham's Trent FM to take over its evening slot. He replaces Paul Hayes who will continue his Club Classics shows on Friday and Saturday nights.
In the first stages of a new weekend strategy Heart has also appointed three new women presenters.
Television host Natalie Pinkham will front new show Feelgood Friday from 4-6pm.
Also joining, to the 7-10pm Sunday slot, is former model Abbie Eastwood. Natalie B will take over an unspecified weekend show.
Mark Browning, programme director, commented: "I believe passionately that commercial radio should be at the forefront in nurturing new radio talent.
"This new line-up includes new shows and fresh faces, each with a very different background, which will further strengthen the radio station in 2008."
Also, Simon Beale's 10pm-1am weekdays programme will be renamed from Late Show to Heartbreakers and now offer "new as well as classic ballads".
