Presenting Sunday Breakfast on Splash FM 2003-2008

A bit of background…..

I have always been interested in radio. After about 25 years as a volunteer in both BBC local and commercial radio, my first paid job was with
Premier Radio in London, where I presented and produced a range of programmes from breakfast, to Drivetime, and overnights!

From early beginnings in  hospital radio I went on to run two ‘Radio Cracker’ RSLs (short term licenced stations) in Worthing, West Sussex, UK. These were the first ever legal radio stations in Worthing.

Other short term FM radio stations I helped to launch and manage (RSLs)

1996 Hope FM, Eastbourne, 1996
1999 Worthing Millennium FM
2005  Durrington Festival Radio
2008, 2009  Radio Airbourne, Eastbourne.(Presented shows)
2011 Worthing FM (Presented shows)
2012 Ferring Radio, Worthing
2013 Adur FM, Lancing (Presented shows)

I worked in London for Premier Radio for 2 years, and then for a Christian  ministry, Revival, based in Eastbourne, East Sussex, until December 2009. My role was producing radio programmes for broadcast worldwide.

For five years till July 2008 I was Patrick Woodward operating the desk at Jubilee FM, WorthingSunday breakfast presenter on Worthing’s station Splash FM. For over 7 years, till early 2008, I presented “First Light”, a Sunday breakfast show on Eastbourne’s  Sovereign Radio, and also on Arrow FM in Hastings.
