After 10 successful years as host of MBE, Harcourt is stepping down November 30.

Harcourt will continue as a KCRW deejay, hosting a 3-hour show on Sundays from 6-9 pm.

"My heartfelt thanks and gratitude go to KCRW, the staff and volunteers who have supported my work through the years, but most of all to the listeners. I've always said that I couldn't do what I do without them and I hope they will join me on Sunday nights," said Harcourt.

KCRW's General Manager Ruth Seymour said "Nic has enhanced KCRW's reputation for introducing new artists to listeners in Southern California and beyond on radio and the Internet. His singular gifts as a radio deejay and his ability to spot new talent attracted major media attention from both national and international press."

"He made performing on MBE an opportunity to be heard by top entertainment executives. In quite a number of instances it led to record contracts, television appearances and club dates."

"We're delighted that Nic will continue a station tradition and remain on the air at KCRW. He follows our two previous Music Directors, Tom Schnabel and Chris Douridas, who also host music programs on the weekends."

"Nic is a hard act to follow", added Seymour. "We are now in the process of choosing a new Music Director. We have been looking at potential candidates with an eye toward announcing a choice in the new few weeks."
