Burden said her new job was a "brilliant opportunity"
Rachel Burden is to join Nicky Campbell on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 5 live's breakfast show from May.
The weekend breakfast show co-host replaces Shelagh Fogarty, who is moving to lunchtimes after seven years.
"Shelagh is the mother of all breakfast broadcasters and I can only hope to match the impression that she's made," said Burden.
Station controller Adrian Van Klaveren said she would be a "wonderful addition to the breakfast team".
"Rachel's a great broadcaster, a great journalist and a great friend," added Campbell. "It's going to be great."
Burden, who began her radio career as a reporter on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Suffolk, joined the weekend breakfast team on 5 live in 2003.
