Wolverhampton Community Radio (WCR) has bid farewell to longtime breakfast presenter Stuart Hickman, who aired his final morning show on Friday (March 28).
The presenter has been the voice of the morning commute for 10 years after coming back to his homeland of Wolverhampton following spells presenting shows across the UK.
Over the decade Stuart and the WCR team helped to provide fantastic background music to millions of commuters and early risers across the city.
In an especially poignant farewell, Stuart was also presented with a birthday cake to celebrate his 62nd birthday.
Talking between music breaks on his final show, Stuart said: "It's been great today. It's been great coming back to Wolverhampton after travelling all over the country working on various radio stations.
"Coming back home, being part of Wolverhampton again, working at WCR. It's been a great organisation to work with, I have loved every second of my time here."
The presenter continued to keep the Wolverhampton community company through the Covid-19 pandemic, continuing to present the show live as a key worker.
He said: "Working through Covid was really memorable. Going through that at the time was crazy.
"I came in and did the show live, we were classed as key workers at that time because we provided information."
Stuart said he now looks forward to turning off the alarm clock and taking some 'nice leisurely mornings' for a change.
He said: "I think I'm just going to have some nice leisurely mornings for a change.
"I'll particularly enjoy seeing everybody else getting up and going to work instead, I think!"
