Event
producer Trish Campbell says: "The BBC celebrates its 80th
anniversary this Autumn so it's an apt time to reflect on our heritage
and look forward to the new age of broadcasting.
"It's
not just about the big shows and the famous names. We plan to show
the public how the BBC is actively involved in their community through
local radio, regional television and the internet."
Ski
jump hero Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards broadcasts his radio show live
from the event and is really looking forward to meeting the listeners.
He
said: "I
have the perfect face for the radio so the public should be in for
a shock!"
