Maggie Barry new Radio Live host

Maggie Barry is to take over from Bill Ralston on Radio Live, the station announced today.

Programme Director Mitch Harris said Ralston had been looking to reduce his work commitments.

Barry, who has previously worked on National Radio and in television, starts on the 4pm - 6pm Drive Show on Monday 30 March.

She said: "I like the energy and fresh approach of the station and look forward to putting together a lively, compelling drive show that reflects all my interests in the one programme."
