Hundreds of people woke up this morning without the sound of their favourite radio show.

James Heming and Becky Ives presented their final show on Friday, May 24.

The channel will now play the national breakfast show presented by Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston, but listeners weren't pleased.

A tweet promoting the new show was bombarded with complaints from people wanting their local radio stations back.

@__leigh__ said: "Could you have made a bigger mistake @global #thisisheart just No! Bring back @jameshemming @Becky_Ives_ and all other #localradiopresenters !"

Others turned to kmfm, who have recently recorded its higheset number of listeners, to get them through their mornings.

Wendy Pugh said: "@kmfmofficial thank you for your morning show, made the transistion from Heart Kent easier for me. Still missing James and Becky but at least you have a good team on the morning show."

Garry and Laura were joined in the studio this morning by Craig David.
