Little bit of news that I wanted you to get from me before anyone else…

I’m going to be doing a weekend show for BBC Five Live, it doesn’t alter the love I have for here. Its not you, its me.

I did a show before them called Fighting Talk and I’m excited about going back. My first guest will be Clive Dickens, in a feature called “What The Dickens?”

As well as saying a BIG WELL DONE to the OC, we also wanted to give you a bit more info on his new show which you can pass on to clients and contacts who have any questions.

In addition to the Breakfast Show on Absolute Radio, Christian will be presenting a new Sunday morning show from 11am to midday on BBC Five Live. It all kicks off in September with a 15-week initial run and will be a chance for the pair to generally put the world to rights… God help us all!

It’s familiar territory for Christian who presented a brilliant show called Fighting Talk on the station a few years ago and he’s one of a number of Absolute Radio DJs who take on projects which compliment their work here at Absolute.

Russ Williams hosts a football show on Sundays on TalkSport, Frank Skinner has done everything from Question Time to Match of the Day, Vicki Butler-Henderson takes on the boys on Fifth Gear every week and then there’s Tim Shaw putting his body through hell on Channel 4’s Extreme Male Beauty as well as Fifth Gear presenting duties.

It’s a testament to the talent we have here at Absolute Radio that other stations are so keen to get a piece of the pie and this is of huge benefit to us because it opens us up to whole new audiences. Five Live listeners are just the kind we want to target and we always say we’re a station with personality so any opportunity for our DJs to demonstrate what we’re about is good news for us!

Me and Richie have been invited to do a show on Hampshire Hospital Radio on Sunday Evenings.

We’re currently weighing up the offer, but we’ll let you know.
