Presenters Subsequent Successes
Some former Radio Tees presenters have gone on to work in the UK national media including Mark Page, who briefly worked as a presenter for BBC Radio 1 in the 1980s, Roger Lewis, who was Head of Music at BBC Radio 1 and is now Managing Director of ITV Wales, and Alex Lester, who has presented the 3am-6am show on BBC Radio 2 since 1990. Brian Anderson moved to Scotland to oversee programmes at the launch of Moray Firth Radio, and now presents a weekend programme on Aberdeen's Original 106.
John Simons was instrumental in launching the Century brand of stations and is now award-winning Group Programme Director for GMG Radio.
It is in the area of news and sport though, that Radio Tees has appeared on the CV's of some of the best known and also some of the most powerful figures in the UK broadcasting industry: Peter Bowes (BBC Los Angeles Correspondent), Kim Barnes (BBC Television News reporter), Jeff Stelling (Sky Sports presenter), Helen Boaden (Director of BBC News) and Mark Mardell (BBC Europe Editor).

Famous quotes containing the words subsequent and/or successes:
“And he smiled a kind of sickly smile, and curled up on the floor,
And the subsequent proceedings interested him no more.”
—Francis Bret Harte (1836–1902)
“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
