Nestor
takes on Drive on Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ London 94.9FM
Award-winning
Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ London presenter Eddie Nestor is to present the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ London Drivetime
show from 5.00 to 7.00pm every weekday evening.
Eddie
will be making London's news interactive, looking in depth at the
stories of the day and putting the views of diverse Londoners at
the heart of the stories.
And
he'll be challenging those in authority to be accountable to Londoners.
Eddie,
who currently presents Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ London's 10.00pm to 2.00am slot on weekend
evenings, takes on the Drivetime presenting role from Monday 22
September.
He
was most recently seen in the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ's Canterbury Tales and is a former
Casualty star. He will be co-presenting Drivetime with Kath Melandri.
Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ
London 94.9FM Managing Editor David Robey says: "Eddie really
is a man of the people and his broadcasting is consistently challenging,
drawing out the views of real Londoners and making sure that those
in charge are held accountable.
"He
knows London through and through and speaks his mind, standing up
for all listeners, including those in Zone Three and beyond.
"Eddie
has a natural rapport with callers and an instinct for what's really
on their minds - not necessarily just what journalists think is
important.
"He's
a tenacious interviewer who does not put up with spin but asks direct
and uncomfortable questions from the listeners' perspective.
"He
has a wide experience of life as an actor, stand up, tv and radio
presenter, but his feet are still firmly planted on the ground,
amongst the Londoners he grew up with."
Eddie
Nestor says: "I'm really looking forward to taking on the early
evening programme, and to dealing with the hot issues of the day
as they develop.
"I've
enjoyed working in the late evening slot, but this gives me the
opportunity to work with a much larger audience and to engage them
in debate around the stories that really matter to Londoners."
