Edit ProfileCareer
His main role is as the North of England reporter for British Broadcasting Corporation Radio 5 live, the news and sport network of the British Broadcasting Corporation. He has worked at a number of local radio stations and joined British Broadcasting Corporation Radio 5 Live in 1994. In 1998 he was one of the first field reporters at the British Broadcasting Corporation to be issued with a Nera M4 Satellite in 1998 which enabled him to operate as a single-person radio broadcaster. His work during the British General Election of 2010 was reviewed in The Daily Telegraph.
In recent years he has moved from using traditional audio recorders to using an iPhone to record, mix and send material from the field to his radio station: known as Mobile journalism.
He was one of the first reporters to regularly use a voip application to broadcast live over 3G and wifi networks. He was also one of the first broadcasters to use a live streaming camera application to broadcast live television pictures for broadcast on the British Broadcasting Corporation News Channel from an iPhone.
He lives, with his family, in the Pennines between Leeds and Manchester.
