A BIT ABOUT ME


Biographical Information

I'm 36 years old and a Senior Broadcast Journalist for BBC News. Currently I'm in charge of the news service 60seconds on BBC Three.. Before that I was at BBC News 24 - the BBC's 24 hour television news channel in the UK. I was on attachment from BBC Radio 5 Live where I was a News Presenter.
I started my career at BBC Radio Devon back in 1983 (when I was 13) as a helper, progressing through to a presenter/producer when I left in 1990.

I then joined Atlantic 252 the national Long Wave radio station based in Trim in Ireland where I spent a year.

After that I came back to the United Kingdom and presented an early show on the BBC Local Radio stations in the South East. I also helped to launch BBC Three Counties Radio (formerly BBC Radio Bedfordshire) before joining 5 Live in 1994.

Since then I've also presented on the television. I spent 6 months at BBC South West in Plymouth where I was a reporter/presenter on the regional news magazine programme 'Spotlight'. I've also presented on BBC News 24 (when someone was ill and there was no one else and when someone fell asleep)

Personal Interests

Broadcasting
As you can see above I work in broadcasting and have had a love of the media since a very early age. I tend to find working more of a hobby than actual work. I have worked mainly for the BBC, and although many criticise the organisation I believe it is the best broadcaster in the world for the range and diversity of programmes and stations - both radio and television - that it produces. If you want to find out more about the BBC check out it's web site :- www.bbc.co.uk

Jingles
I'm what you would call an 'anorak' when it comes to radio jingles. I collect them and have hundreds and hundreds from a variety of stations across the world. If you're also a collector then I'm always open to swaps. I tend to collect on MD/DAT or CD rather than cassette. I tend to collect packages from UK stations but also have a wide range of demos from other countries. For more information on my jingle habit click here.
