Matthew Wright has been given his first prime-time BBC One programme as the lead presenter on Inside Out for London.
Wright currently presents the daily live current affairs show, The Wright Stuff on Five, and hosts BBC Radio 2's, The Weekender on Friday nights.
Wright said: "It's a dream job for a born Londoner. I've lived all over the capital, from Croydon in south London to Acton in the west, Bow in the east and currently Camden in the north. Having been all over the world, I can say that London truly is its greatest city."
"I sat at home watching Inside Out and it's great for me now to have the opportunity to bring interesting stories into Londoners' homes through the BBC," he added.
Dippy Chaudhary, Inside Out's editor, said: "I am absolutely delighted that Matthew's joining us. He's one of Britain's most engaging TV journalists. His curiosity, wit and sharp journalism will be a great asset to the programme."
The regional current affairs programme returns on Wednesday September 19 at 7.30pm.
