  BBC

  Mar 2006 - May 2010

  Producing reports for BBC Channel Island news. Shooting/Editing/Producing/Reporting on issues effecting the people of the Channel Islands. Reporting live on News, Sport and features for Radio Guernsey. In a small team you have a varied work load. One day you are producing, the next presenting. When I arrived there was no local sport in the running orders. In my time at the station I brought local sport to the fore and started an hour long dedicated sports programme on a Friday afternoon. I also worked across platforms and submitted written news for the Regional Online indexes for the Channel Islands.
