Household
name returns to BBC airwaves
A familiar
voice is returning to the BBC radio airwaves on 9 March 2003 to
host a brand new Sunday morning show for BBC Three Counties Radio,
which broadcasts across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
The
new programme will be presented by Dave Lee Travis and the
show will mark the dj's first BBC show for a British audience since
leaving Radio 1 ten years ago.
DLT,
who lives in Buckinghamshire, says: "BBC Three Counties Radio
is my local station so I was really pleased to be asked to contribute
to a station which has kept me informed of local issues for so long.
"I
suppose you might call my new Sunday show 'reality radio' - the
reality is that I want stimulating conversation with the listeners,
I want to hear them laughing when they get involved in my competitions
and I want them to relish music so diverse that they will be left
wanting more.
"What
I want and what I get may well be two different things, you'll just
have to tune in from 9 til 12 on March 9th to find out!"
BBC
Three Counties Editor Mark Norman adds: "This is a really exciting
move for BBC Three Counties Radio.
"To
have persuaded DLT to come back to the BBC is great news for our
listeners and for the team here.
"His
show will be a mix of great music, great fun and great competitions.
Who knows, there might even be a bit of snooker on the radio if
we're lucky.
"From
a personal point of view, I can't wait to be working alongside one
of my radio heroes.
"We
know he's going to be a huge hit with our audience who still have
great affection for radio's own 'Hairy Monster'."
BBC
Three Counties radio is broadcast on 95.5FM (Beds), 104.5FM (Bucks)
and 103.8 FM (Herts).
