BBC Radio Leeds presenter Andrew Edwards is leaving the station, the long-serving broadcaster has confirmed.
Edwards, who joined the BBC in 1989, will present his last weekend breakfast shows on November 4 and 5. Sharing images of himself in 1995, two years after he joined Radio Leeds, Edwards posted on Twitter: “The five ages of radio man. A countdown to my final shows 4 and 5 November. This is about 1995, the start of 15 years on the weekday breakfast show. I had more spouses than Henry VIII: two ‘husbands’ and four fab radio ‘wives’.
The reorganisation involves no local transmissions between 2-6pm on weekdays. Jonathan Cowap left BBC Radio York after more than 30 years and David Burns departed BBC Radio Humberside after being told he would ‘no longer be needed’ under the new structure. Cowap has since joined YO1 Radio.
