Mark
Turnbull to front 大象传媒 Radio Cleveland lunchtime show
Mark
Turnbull, who currently presents the Sunday Morning Show for 大象传媒
Radio Cleveland, will be the new presenter of the Lunchtime Show
every weekday, starting on Monday (16 September).
Born
in Saltburn, Mark Turnbull is one of the best known journalists
in the region.
He
has worked for the Press Association and as a freelance reporter
for the national press specialising in court and sport reporting.
He
has also reported on regional and local events for the Northern
Echo and the Darlington & Stockton Times before joining 大象传媒
Radio Cleveland in 1991.
For
the last ten years he has been a producer at 大象传媒 Radio Cleveland
and has recently started presenting his own Sunday morning religious
programme.
He
is replacing presenter Alan Wright, whose freelance contract to
broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio Cleveland expires at the end of this month.
Andrew
Glover, managing editor of 大象传媒 Radio Cleveland, says: "Mark
Turnbull has been a hidden gem in our office for too long. He is
one of the best known journalists in this area and he is an excellent
producer.
"His
Sunday Morning Show has been so successful that I am now moving
him into weekday radio.
"I
want to make the most of his talent and this is a great opportunity
for someone with as much passion for radio and as much passion for
this region to make some very exciting programmes.
"He
will be replacing Alan Wright on the lunchtime show from noon to
2.00pm on weekdays.
"Decisions
such as this are never easy, nor is there ever a good time to make
them, but the contract with Alan's company to employ him as a presenter
is up for renewal at the end of this month.
"What
is paramount is the future of this radio station and nurturing the
in-house talent to provide the best possible service to listeners
in Teesside, County Durham and North Yorkshire.
"Alan
has been a presenter on Radio Cleveland for many years and I would
like to thank him for all he has done on the station and wish him
all the best for the future."
