Elise Evans takes over Heart WM Drivetime
Elise Evans has taken over the Heart West Midlands Drivetime show from Steve Denyer, who has left the station after 13 years.
Elise previously presented weekends on the station, having joined Global in 2015 to work on-air at Heart and Capital and in the street team. She tweeted how happy she was about the promotion: “Feeling super lucky and grateful right now. To all the Radio hustlers & dreamers, keep smashing it! Hard work pays off.”
On Steve leaving the station, a Global spokesperson told RadioToday: “Steve has made a huge contribution to the station and we wish him all the best for the next chapter.”
Steve said: “After an incredible 13 YEARS (!!!) on Heart in the Midlands I’m doing my final shows this weekend! To say it’s been an incredible journey would be a complete understatement. Thanks to everyone who has the made it just the best experience.”
He said he plans to work on Heart 80s then take a holiday.
