Graham will be joined by new board members Andy Evans (technical) Jez Timms (head of music), Brenda Cadwallader (company secretary) and Steve Jasper (financial).

Chief executive officer of The ’Bridge Alex Totney said: “I am thrilled Graham has chosen to accept this role. He is a man who lives and breathes the Black Country and I feel he is the perfect ambassador to steer this station through its next phase.”
