Drivetime presenter Paul Shah is leaving for pastures new. He announced his departure from the station on his Facebook with the following message, “This is my last week as presenter on Sunrise Radio. For the first time in history, the Sunrise Radio Breakfast show host and Drivetime host will be leaving on the same day (this was not planned). Join us for our final shows this week.”

Temporary replacements from Sunrise Radio’s other stations Kismat Radio and Buzz Asia will cover Breakfast and Drivetime during the festive break. New permanent voices are expected to move in from January.
