25 years on, Roy Noble moves to weekends

BBC Radio Wales presenter Roy Noble will broadcast his last weekday show tomorrow as he moves to a new weekend show.

Roy, who has been presenting Monday to Friday for the station since 1985, will present a new Sunday morning show as part of the schedule changes from next week.

“Life is a circle. My flirtation with the BBC began 32 years ago as a once-a-week arrangement and the 27 years of full five-days-a-week broadcasting that followed was something to behold,” Roy Said.

“The relationship with the listeners was the wondrous topping on the trifle as the years unfolded. Now I’m returning to a once a week inspiring interlude and I hope it will make the complete circle entirely golden.”

BBC Radio Wales Editor Steve Austins said: “Roy has been a part of people’s weekday listening for more than a quarter of a century – it feels as though he’s always been there and his voice is synonymous with Wales. He’ll be a tough act to follow but I’m delighted his relationship with BBC Radio Wales will continue, and we’re excited about the preparations for his new Sunday morning show.”

Roy Noble’s new show starts Sunday, September 30, 10.30am.
