Richard Williams
Rich presents The Homerun on 96.3 Radio Aire in Leeds, one of Yorkshire’s biggest commercial stations.
Having spent the past 3 years co-presenting the Breakfast show, Rich has taken over Drive Time on the station. He also presents mid mornings on The Hits with a national audience of over 430,000.
Rich has managed to notch up a great deal of media experience. During the summer of 2002, whilst studying politics at university, he took part in a nationwide BBC talent search to find a new CBBC presenter.
Having made it through the early auditions he was chosen from many thousands to take part in MAKING IT, a 16-part live daily show that aired on BBC1. The show saw the final 10 being whittled down to 1 winner, and Rich made it through to the final 5!
The experience of live television proved invaluable to Rich, something he can now add to 5 years of radio experience.
Rich also writes for publications reviewing music and when hes not involved with TV and radio work, his three big passions are music, sport and politics.
