Radio Kent's drive-time programme and online service - all live
on air!

Lizz says "I'm passionate about working more closely
with audiences, increasingly involving them in how we
do what we do - turning 'outreach' into 'output'.
Ìý
"Local Radio
is the ideal place to achieve that, and Berkshire
in particular has made exciting radio in partnership with the diverse
communities who live there.
Ìý
"I'm looking forward to building on
that track record with the excellent team working there."

Her
current role is Elections Results Editor/Executive Producer
