Presenter is appointed king Bee

By Press Gazette

A local business executive turned radio presenter who is one of the
best-known voices in East Lancashire has been appointed manager of The
Bee, which goes on air in the Blackburn and Darwen area this summer.

Simon
Brierley has been breakfast show presenter on Burnley-based 2BR for the
past year, combining the role with that of brand manager.

“As a
Lancashire lad with many friends and contacts in the Blackburn and
Darwen area, becoming manager of what will be a highly-focused local
radio station is an ambition come true,” he said.

The Bee, which
is the station name of the Blackburn Broadcasting Company, was awarded
the Blackburn and Darwen licence by Ofcom last December.
