Kate Clark has presented her final show on BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
A series of changes will be introduced by the BBC next month with a large number of local shows cut and replaced with regional and national programmes.
BBC Radio Gloucestershire will only have local programmes during the week between 6am and 2pm and a small number of hours at the weekend.
The BBC defended the cuts by saying they were investing in news journalism instead, and have recruited 130 additional reporters, 70 of them to work on in-depth investigations.
Kate has presented across the schedule for Radio Gloucestershire over the years including Daybreak and co-presenting with Mark Cummings on breakfast.
A number of well-loved presenters including Anna King, Mark Cummings and Faye Hatcher have left the station.
On Friday, Steve Kitchen presented his final drivetime show with a new regional show for Wiltshire and Gloucestershire taking over the slot from next week.
Kate will remain in a behind-the-scenes role with the BBC.
