ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ WM announced today that

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.

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.
