Programmes

The Full English Breakfast Show is currently hosted by Sarah Lycett every weekday from 7am until after the 10am news. It features frequent, on-the-hour International News bulletins from the BBC and on the half-hour mark the local news from the South of France. Around 8:15 there's the 'guess the intro' and after nine the 'three in a row' (with a link between the songs to guess) contest. The programme has a broad loyal following by locals but also worldwide on the internet with many recurring listeners frequently contributing content. Sarah's upbeat and personable style makes the Full English Breakfast Show the icon it is.
