Noel
Edmonds returns to his radio roots
Noel Edmonds returns to his radio roots to present Radio 2's Drivetime
show for two months.
From
Monday 4 August to Friday 3 October Noel will be presenting the
weekday Drivetime slot - Monday to Friday, 5.05-7.00pm - sitting
in for regular presenter Johnnie Walker who is currently undergoing
treatment for cancer.
Noel
says: "This is a bittersweet experience. I am a huge fan of
Johnnie's and I wish him a full and speedy recovery.
听
"I'm
very much looking forward to the challenge of looking after the
Drivetime show.
"It's
a great opportunity and I'm very excited to be back behind the mic,
at the country's most listened to radio station."
Jim
Moir, Controller of Radio 2, says: "I join Noel in wishing
Johnnie a swift recovery and return to the airwaves.
"In
the meantime, Noel is one of the UK's most successful and innovative
broadcasters and we are delighted that the Drivetime show will be
in such capable hands."
Noel Edmonds' radio career began in 1968 at Radio Luxembourg.
In
1969 he began a long-standing association with the 大象传媒 - first in
radio where he made his name hosting the Breakfast Show for Radio
1, and then in television - where for many years he balanced presenting
on both media.
Noel's
love of music led him to open a record shop in London's King's Road
in the early Seventies.
This
was the first of many business ventures which have included the
formation of a highly successful independent production company.
