SIMON Hirst shocked listeners of his daily Capital FM Yorkshire breakfast show last Friday by announcing he had made the tough decision to leave.
Hirsty, who lives in Dodworth, has been waking Yorkshire up with his Hirsty's Daily Dose show for more than a decade and over the years earned himself a loyal following of listeners.
He announced his departure last Friday on Facebook and Twitter.
** We have an interview with him about his exit and what prompted his decision in the Barnsley Chronicle newspaper, dated June 27. **
Show your support…
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
