Red Dragon PD goes to the Beeb
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 2 July 2010
The Programme Director at Global Radio’s Cardiff-based Red Dragon Radio, Colin Paterson, is to leave commercial radio to become an Executive Producer over at BBC Radio Wales.
Paterson moved to the Cardiff FM in 2008 after launching the ultimately unsuccessful Talk 107 in Edinburgh. In his new job he will oversee the day-to-day operations of the BBC regional station, with particular responsibility for scheduling and music policy.
Whether Paterson is leaving Red Dragon aware Global may, at some point in the near future, rebrand it as Heart and network in more programmes from London, isn’t known. In his statement on the matter he simply spoke about his excitement at becoming part of the Beeb.
He is quoted by Radio Today as saying: “This is an exciting and challenging period for BBC Radio Wales. I look forward to working with the hugely talented team as well as engaging with listeners to ensure audience growth for years to come”.
