Mark and Lard will leave Radio 1 and head their separate ways, it has been announced today.
Mark Radcliffe will join Radio 2 while Marc Riley, better known as 'Lard' in the partnership, will join 6 Music in April.
"It's no secret that I've been talking to them for a long time and I'm delighted to have secured their talents," said Lesley Douglas, the new Controller of BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music.
"It makes perfect sense for them to move from Radio 1 to Radio 2 and 6 Music. I have been discussing this with Radio 1 Controller, Andy Parfitt, for some months now and I am pleased that BBC Radio can provide a home for such exceptional presenters."
