Warren Moore joins BBC Local Radio in the West
Former Heart Gloucestershire breakfast presenter Warren Moore is joining BBC Local Radio in the West for a weekend show.
Warren left the Global station recently, and will start his new programme, Warren Moore’s Mix Tape, on Sunday July 8th from 1pm till 4pm.
He’ll be heard on Radio Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Bristol and Somerset.
Warren Moore said: “The BBC is the most famous name in broadcasting and for every day of my 25 year career, a BBC voice or programme has woken me up, kept me company in the car, brought me the latest score or news headlines from around the West. To be given an opportunity to join that team is something that’s really yet to sink in. I’m so lucky!
“I’ve lived in the South West for 15 years so I know just how much BBC Radio means to people here and I’m really looking forward to hearing from the great characters and storytellers that I’ve heard… Except this time talking to me!
“It’s all a bit of a dream really but I’m so excited as I’ve already seen first-hand the pride and affection that’s put into shows for broadcast on BBC radio. Nothing beats it!”
Unbelievably excited to be able to say…..I'm joining @BBCGlos

The station is at the top of its game with listeners loving our mix of great conversation and quality local journalism and soon we will announce more exciting plans to work even more closely with partners and communities across Gloucestershire.”
Mary Sanders, Editor of BBC Wiltshire said: “We think BBC Wiltshire listeners will love Warren’s new Sunday afternoon show which will combine his love of the West Country with a great range of music and interviews.”
