In my 20-year career as a programmer and presenter in commercial and BBC radio, I have produced content for a variety of formats and audiences.

 

I have presented alone and as part of a team. I am equally happy to work in a live, studio environment or remotely in my broadcast-standard home studio.

 

I am focused on growing a committed, passionate audience by creating a positive experience for listeners whenever and however they connect with our brands.

 

These demos show my range of skills and experience in a variety of music radio formats and dayparts.

 

I can offer remote voice-tracking for your station. Feel free to get in touch...

I'm at my best talking to callers on air.

As Presenter and Deputy Content Manager at Yorkshire Coast Radio, I was an integral part of the team that delivered the highest like-for-like audience figures in the UK in many quarters. Audiences peaked at a weekly reach of 53% while market share was consistently around 20%.

 

I presented in all dayparts and provided breakfast cover. I recognise the different wants and needs of the changing audience through the day. As a presenter, I am equally comfortable in music-led daytime solo presenting and speech-led breakfast team output. I am confident handling callers and interviewing a range of guests from popstars to politicians. I have a genuine enthusiasm for the music we play and look for the common ground between me and my audience, talking about my own and our shared experience living in the TSA.

 

Our RAJAR success was bolstered by a prominent presence in the area. I attended events & local workplaces. I regularly broadcast on location. I particularly excel fronting live events such as roadshows and award ceremonies.

 

As well as presenting a market-leading daytime show, as Deputy CM, I managed the day-to-day programming of the station. I approached my work with meticulous attention to detail and always met deadlines. I ran Linker/GSelector, completed PPL and PRS returns, scripted station promos, wrote & scheduled talk-up scripts and generated promotional ideas & mechanics. I have many years’ experience using Zetta (including Zetta2Go) Adobe Audition, Linker/Selector and burli.

 

Web and social media were an essential part of our product. I worked closely with the digital team to generate content for various platforms to promote the station and its output and to build the relationship between brand and listener. Alongside audience growth of 50% during my time at the station, our SEO and social strategy saw the station deliver the highest number of webpage visits and socials views of any station in the group, exceeding figures delivered by stations with TSAs up to 20 times the size.

 

Following a series of takeovers in early 2020, I was one of just two programmers from the acquired companies invited to join Bauer’s team producing content for radio, web and social media across the Yorkshire portfolio of Hits Radio and Greatest Hits Radio stations.
