Former BBC Radio Manchester Managing Editor John Ryan is to produce the new series of Radio 5 live’s ‘Men’s Hour’ for radio indie Tonic Productions.
The show returns for a third series from the end of this month on Sunday evenings.
BBC Radio 5 live Deputy Controller Jonathan Wall said: “We have had a great audience response to the first two series, and Tim and the team have come up with some fascinating topics for series three. I am sure this will create thought provoking and compelling radio.”
John Ryan left the BBC last month after a long career with the corporation, which included him heading up its local radio stations in Northampton, Leeds and Manchester. He recently set up his own independent production company called ‘2ZY’.
