He is also set to take up a new role in Global’s podcast division developing sport content for Global Player, Global’s digital radio and podcast listening service.
Mr Stark said: “I couldn’t be more excited to be joining Global, working across a variety of amazing projects. I’ve known Roman a long time and often joked over a beer it’d be great to work together on something big one day – and now here we are.
“I cannot wait to get started on Capital breakfast and in my new creative executive producer role. Let’s make some moments.
“And then to be asked to lead on Global Player’s sport podcast content is just the icing on the cake.”
