ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ WM announced today that Les Ross will present a new Sunday morning show on the station from 6 February 2005.


Les, who began his career at the former ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Birmingham, is going back to his roots with his return to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ WM.

He will present the mid morning show on Sundays, from 9.00am to noon.


Les will form part of a brand new Sunday line up for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ WM, which also sees Ed Doolan take over as presenter of the Sunday Breakfast Show, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ WM's main religious programme.

Carl Chinn and Bob Brolly will host the afternoon shows and contribute to making Sunday's line-up one of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ WM's most prestigious, as all four men have been honoured with MBE awards for their services to broadcasting.


Keith Beech, Editor, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ WM, says: "We feel very proud to be offering such a unique and impressive Sunday schedule to our listeners and we are delighted that Les Ross, a definitive voice of the Midlands, will be joining us.


"We have been working with Les to create a show that is new and exciting, but that also incorporates variations on some of his most popular features, which many listeners will remember," Keith says.


Les Ross adds: "I always thought I'd come back to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Birmingham. In my opinion, you can't do better than be on local radio in your home area. I'm very much looking forward to it."


Les began his radio career at ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Birmingham in 1970 before moving on to commercial stations Radio Tees, BRMB and Saga FM.

Ìý

He has picked up two prestigious Sony Awards during his 34 year broadcasting career, and was awarded the MBE for services to broadcasting in 1996.


In December 2004, Les and Ed Doolan became the first regional broadcasters to be inducted into the Radio Academy's Hall of Fame.
