BROADCAST: I’m a former radio man, and television journalist with over 200 hours of editing and presenting under my belt. This has been mostly live tv for ‘The Computer Channel’ and various videoconference broadcasts, such as the ‘Olivetti PC Pro Special’ from Zurich with Pam Armstrong. But I have also anchored a number of canned specials - a ‘Budget Analysis’ for Sun Life (featuring John Major), and a programme looking at the British Computer Society’s ‘Professional Development Scheme’.
NEW MEDIA: I have worked on ‘Networks TV’ at the NEC, and acted as a consultant on the launch of new media start-ups ‘silicon.com’ (NMTV), the ‘IT Network’, and ‘uk.internet.com’.
I also acted as anchorman for the ‘SiliconReport E-commerce’ CD programmes. Each programme contained a number of segments. You can see a couple of the edited tv sessions below:
