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:
“Children of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in their power, which no subsequent connections can supply; and it must be by a long and unnatural estrangement, by a divorce which no subsequent connection can justify, if such precious remains of the earliest attachments are ever entirely outlived.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“Neither years nor books have yet availed to extirpate a prejudice then rooted in me, that a scholar is the favorite of Heaven and earth, the excellency of his country, the happiest of men. His duties lead him directly into the holy ground where other men’s aspirations only point. His successes are occasions of the purest joy to all men. Eyes is he to the blind; feet is he to the lame. His failures, if he is worthy, are inlets to higher advantages.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
