We ask all of our presenters to keep in touch with us once they have trained with us on one of our presenter training courses.

Today we are having a catch up with Peg Alexander who came on our fast track presenter training programme a couple of years ago.  She is now working full time as a TV and radio presenter….Take a read of the work she has done since training with us:

I’ve worked in TV continually since then (except last summer) and have presented 5 series for the city TV station Made in Leeds:

• 3 series of an hour long current affairs chat/panel show On Closer Inspection. The first series was all filmed on location. 2^nd Series filmed in the studio with each section filmed as live.
• 1 series of The Powerhouse. Half hour one to one in-depth interviews with the key movers and shakers in the city – eg. MPs, Police and Crime Commissioners, Council Leader, Business Leaders, University Vice Chancellor etc
• 1 Series of Between the Lines a live hour long paper review show. Currently doing this series.

I have also worked as news planner in the Made in Leeds newsroom.

In addition, I have had 2 BBC jobs for Inside Out North East. The first was a report on obesity in Gateshead as the local authority there has introduced a ban on any new takeaways. This ended up a national radio story that day so also involved doing radio interviews for stations across the UK.

I have also continued to work on radio doing Broadcast Journalist shifts on BBC Radio Leeds and producer shifts. I also present a weekly breakfast show on a radio station in Bradford.”

Well done Peg!  Super proud of you!
