大象传媒 WM is delighted to announce that its popular Saturday Lunchtime Show host has been given a regular weekday slot.
听
Jimmy Franks begins presenting his own show on weekdays from Monday 11 April between 10.00pm and 1.00am.
听
Jimmy takes over from husband and wife team, Tony Wadsworth and Julie Mayer who, after a decade of broadcasting for 大象传媒 WM, bow out at the end of March before they begin a new show with the 大象传媒.
听
Jimmy is already one of the Midlands' most established and popular media personalities.
听
His experience across the media and communications spectrum - radio, TV, DJ'ing, organising and hosting major events and presenting - makes him one of the region's most versatile communicators.
听
Jimmy says he was shocked to receive the news.
听
"I returned to 大象传媒 WM just a few months ago to present the Saturday Lunchtime Show. I'm absolutely delighted to be offered a full time slot," he says.
听
"Tony and Julie are very well established and have built up a loyal following."
听
He adds: "I'm very much looking forward to picking up from where they leave off and making my own mark with the station's listeners.
听
"This really is an excellent opportunity and I can hardly wait to get started."
听
大象传媒 WM's Managing Editor Keith Beech says: "There's no question that Tony and Julie will be missed by everyone here at the station.
听
"They're staying with the 大象传媒 but unfortunately they are saying a fond farewell to all their 大象传媒 WM listeners. We wish them all the best for the future.
听
"It's great to have Jimmy on board for the slot. His Saturday Lunchtime Show has quickly established itself as a popular part of the weekend schedule and I'm sure his listeners will be pleased that they'll be able to hear him more frequently."

大象传媒 WM is on 95.6 FM.
