The revolving door keeps on spinning at BBC Radio 4. Following in the footsteps of long-serving announcers Charlotte Green and Harriet Cass, whose departures were announced last month, is Alice Arnold, who has decided to move on after more than 20 years on the station. Arnold joined the station's radio drama company in 1988, before becoming part of the Radio 4 presentation team in 1991. "For over 20 years I have been lucky enough to work with the fantastic team of Radio 4 announcers and newsreaders, but it's time to move on to fresh challenges and a broader range of opportunities," she said. "I'm looking forward to having the freedom to be creative, to use my voice in different ways and I hope I won't be a stranger to the airwaves." Unlike Green and Cass, who took voluntary redundancy, Arnold will be replaced.
