Radio Cracker - Presenters

Presenters

Many people who presented on Radio Cracker have managed to break through into professional broadcasting. Sylvie Blackmore of BBC Southern Counties Radio, Steve Jordan of KCFM & Phil Holmes of Real Radio are three of them . Dave Williams of 100.7 Heart FM also first broadcast on a Radio Cracker station in Rugby. Chris Fox, who first broadcast on Radio Cracker in Worcester, is now the Station manager for Youthcomm Radio, another station originally set up by Radio Cracker founder Richard Wood. Kevin Ford who broadcast with Radio Cracker Ipswich, is breakfast show host on 3FM in the Isle Of Man. Roy Willighan from Radio Cracker Ballymena is now a television continuity announcer and director with BBC Northern Ireland.

As well as launching new radio careers, existing Radio professionals worked on the RSLs. For example, former Radio Caroline presenter, Eric Wiltsher, worked on the 1994 Orpington RSL, not only presenting on the station, but promoting it on his then pan-European radio show.
