David
Clargo named editor of new BBC Local Radio station
David
Clargo has been appointed Managing Editor of the new BBC Local
Radio station for Coventry and Warwickshire, and takes up
his new role next month.
Currently
the Editor of BBC Radio Northampton, David brings vast experience
to the new position.
He
began his radio broadcasting career 14 years ago as a presenter
and joined the BBC in 1991, working as a reporter, producer and
presenter at various BBC Local Radio stations across the south of
England.
He
became Editor of BBC Radio Northampton in January 2001, and before
that was responsible for the split of BBC Thames Valley, as it became
two separate radio stations.
David
will oversee the opening of the new BBC Local Radio station for
Coventry and Warwickshire following the BBC's announcement earlier
this year that the station is to be added to BBC Local Radio's portfolio
of services.
Alongside
new radio studios there will also be an open centre to provide access
to BBC Learning facilities similar to the already established centres
in Blackburn, Sheffield and Stoke.
David
Clargo says: "I'm delighted to be taking on one of the most
exciting and challenging jobs in radio.
"Building
on the success of our current local programmes in Coventry and Warwickshire,
we'll provide the fresh and exciting local radio service that people
in the area deserve."
David
Holdsworth, the BBC's Head of Regional and Local Programmes, adds:
"David
has an outstanding track record for creating exciting radio.
"His
experience will be invaluable as we move over from BBC WM and open
the new station."
