Former Heart Drive presenter Chris Kirk has joined Central Radio to host weekday daytimes.
Chris can now be heard Monday to Friday from 10am till 3pm, hosting the More Music Workday show in Blackpool.
Before working at Heart North Lancashire and South Cumbria, Chris was also heard on Signal 1 and Yorkshire’s Pulse 1 Breakfast, as well as across the Wireless Group network.
Chris said: “I’m really excited to be asked to be part of such a fantastic new station, and one that shares my passion for creating genuinely local, engaging radio.
“Lancashire is a patch I know very well, and I hope listeners will join me through their workday, to hear a bigger variety of music and hopefully have some fun along the way.”
Central Radio Station Director, Nathan Hill, added: “We’re thrilled to be adding to our fantastic schedule by getting Chris on board. He’s already a well known voice to listeners across Lancashire and the wider North West, and his signing adds to the wealth of broadcasting talent we already have at Central.
“Chris is an incredibly talented and innovative broadcaster, and I know he’ll be a great fit here, as we look ahead to a huge next few months, continuing to build our reputation as the local radio station of choice for our listeners across Blackpool and the Fylde coast.
“The response to our new service has been overwhelming, with the buzz around what we’re offering to the local community there for all to see.
“We already boast a reputation for delivering quality, highly entertaining programming and information that listeners trust to accompany their day.”
Central Radio recently launched a competition to offer one lucky listener and a friend the chance to win a holiday to Las Vegas for downloading the Central Radio mobile app.
