''I'm delighted to accept a position on the board at Beyond Radio, and it's great to be invited to be part of such a fabulous team, as the station moves into a fresh chapter in its history," said Dave.

''Real local radio should be right at the heart of the local community, and that's exactly what Beyond offers.

''Chatting to Managing Director, Duncan Moore, it's clear that there are a number of exciting plans in the pipeline, as we look forward to further establishing ourselves as the number one choice for great music and local news and information for our listeners across North Lancashire.''
