BBC Radio 1 was announced that Nick Grimshaw would leave the Breakfast Show after six years, the second longest run hosting the show in history (only second to Chris Moyles). However, Grimshaw is not leaving the station, but swapping slots with Greg James, who normally hosts the home time show from 4-7pm weekdays. This change took place as of 20 August 2018 for the Radio 1 Breakfast Show (which was then renamed to Radio 1 Breakfast). Nick Grimshaw's show started on 3 September 2018. In June 2018, another series of schedule changes was announced. This sees the BBC Introducing Show with Huw Stephens
BBC Radio Cambridgeshire assistant for the opt-in station was Darren Deans. The next programme to opt out was "Sounds Eastern", two hours of music and commentary aimed at Peterborough's Indian, Pakistani, Sikh and Bengali population and presented by Ansar Ali. The Peterborough Breakfast show opt out was abandoned in 2013 due to BBC cutbacks and presenter, Paul Stainton, took over presenting duties of a new countywide show, before leaving the station in 2017. The station's first outside broadcasts were of results from local elections held soon after the station went on the air. The station's radio car was used from the back doors
