Ben Fry

Station Director Ben Fry

Ben started broadcasting from his bedroom at the age of 9 to his friends and neighbours till someone complained and made him remove the speakers from the garden as they had no interest in the public service broadcasting he thought he was providing.

From there Ben joined Minster FM in York whilst still at school and soon graduated from making tea to answering the phones on the late night show.

As with many budding presenters a freak snow storm gave Ben his big chance on air with the scheduled presenter stuck in a snow drift.

The East Coast was the next stop for Ben with a stint on every show at Yorkshire Coast Radio before presenting the Big Fun Breakfast for 18 months which included a stint in Panto (photo's available on request).

Ben presents The Yorkshire Fry Up every weekday between 7am and 9am and Yorkshire Today between 10am and 1pm.
