Gillman told listeners he "will be developing his broadcasting career in new arenas with plans for a groundbreaking new show in development". Gillman will continue to be involved with the station on a creative programming-basis.
5FM will shortly announce their new line-up plans.
"We've been aware of Mark's plans for quite some time now. He wanted to go in March 2005 and has been alluding to his departure for the past two months with his 'last summer...' on-air campaign. His nine years hosting breakfast at 5FM have been irreverent, inventive and very idiosyncratic! And we are pleased to still have Mark on board in the form of his creative radio technology company - TMGS Creative," commented John Langford, 5FM Station Manager.
"The band is breaking up and we'll start a new band," added Gillman.
The Mark Gillman Breakfast Show on 5FM is broadcast between 6am and 9am on weekdays. Reuben Goldberg is the newsreader for the show, with KB as sports presenter. Dangerboy completes the team, with The Prophet as producer.
