大象传媒 Coventry & Warwickshire
today (Monday 11 July) announces its new line-up of presenters.
听
And the all-new station could hardly get off to a better
start as former 大象传媒 London 94.9FM presenter Jon Gaunt
hits the airwaves on the breakfast show between 7.00 and 10.00am on
Monday 5 September. (大象传媒 Coventry & Warwickshire's first broadcast is
on Saturday 3 September).
听
Jon, who currently broadcasts his Saturday morning show
on the station, is as passionate as ever about returning to his roots:
"I am overjoyed at being asked to come back to broadcast in Coventry.
听
"I've had a look around the studios and I can honestly
say that the 大象传媒 is back bigger and better than before.
听
"I'm a Coventry kid, and I and the rest of the team
are determined that this will be Coventry and Warwickshire's station."
听
The straight-talking presenter continues: "I am looking
forward to entertaining, informing and even upsetting a few of my listeners!"
听
Gaining former 大象传媒 Radio 1's Liz Kershaw's
signature is also a coup for the station.
听
Liz, who presents on 大象传媒 6 Music, brings a wealth of
experience to the station, including time spent at other 大象传媒 local radio
stations in Leeds and Northamptonshire.
听
She says: "This new venture for 大象传媒 Coventry & Warwickshire
marks a whole new world of radio for the 21st century and I'm very excited
about hosting my new show here.
听
"Starting with a clean slate in a brand new building
with a great team of people, I'll be proud to present a fresh, lively
and informed show," Liz continues, "Serving up all the local, national,
and international news and views that anyone will need to live their
lives in and around Coventry."
听
Former breakfast show favourite, Annie Othen,
now gets time for a cup of tea in the morning before beginning her new
weekday show (10.00am to 1.00pm) at the Priory Place-based station.
听
Annie says: "It's fantastic news. When the then Director-General
Greg Dyke came on my programme 18 months or so ago to announce the development
of the new station and the new building, it seemed such a long way away
- and now it's happening!
听
"Out of our broom cupboard in Holt Street and into a
fabulous new building with a fully-fledged radio station for the people
of Coventry and Warwickshire.
听
"For me, it will be wonderful to present the morning
programme. This is the first time for a good many years that we can
broadcast our very own mid-morning show to everyone in the region and
I am really looking forward to it."
听
Bob Brolly stays in his current weekday
slot from 1.00-4.00pm and on Monday to Thursday is followed by Liz Kershaw
between 4.00 and 7.00pm.
听
Anita Miah takes to the air between
7.00 and 10.00pm for three hours of community interaction from 大象传媒 Coventry
& Warwickshire's open centre and, depending on their run of form, gives
Coventry City supporters the chance to cheer or jeer their footballing
heroes during the season.
听
Jimmy Franks continues with the late
show between 10.00pm and 1.00am with his usual mix of music and musings.
听
大象传媒 Coventry & Warwickshire's Managing Editor David
Clargo says: "I'm delighted we've been able to bring together a team
of presenters of such calibre to make an outstanding presentation line-up.
听
"They are passionate about Coventry and Warwickshire
and I'm sure will become a compelling part of people's radio listening,"
he continues.
听
"The new radio services launch in September and we can
hardly wait to hit the airwaves from our new home at Priory Place.
听
大象传媒 Coventry & Warwickshire broadcasts on 94.8FM, 103.7FM
and 104FM from its new premises from 3 September 2005.
