BBC Career
In early 1992 Mike moved back to the Worcester area and joined BBC Hereford & Worcester, taking over the weekday mid-morning show from 10 am–1 pm.
In late 1996 he took over the weekday Breakfast show, a role he would remain on until retiring from the slot in April 2005.
Just before retiring from the Breakfast show, in January 2005 Mike took over the station's gardening Programme. This was broadcast on Saturday mornings from 9–11 am. Here, Mike was joined by local gardening expert Reg Moule. He still hosts this show (July 2012).
In addition to that, from May 2005, Mike took over a three-hour Sunday afternoon show also on BBC Hereford & Worcester, playing classic pop tunes from the last three decades. This show was also broadcast on BBC Radio Shropshire and BBC Radio Stoke. It was also during this period that Mike was a stand-in presenter, covering many holidaying presenters on BBC Hereford & Worcester, BBC Radio Shropshire and BBC Radio Gloucestershire
