Presenter profile: Tony Livesey

Hands up. Who hasn't woken up with Tony Livesey?

He presents the breakfast show on BBC Radio Lancashire in his unique style, honed to perfection using literally minutes of expertise.

Guaranteed to send you to work with a smile, Tony talks to the county every morning about every subject imaginable.

And the county talks back!

Hundreds of listeners have joined the programme since Tony took over to share their tales in a team effort that makes this programme THE genuine voice of Lancashire.

Tony is a familiar face in the North West as sports presenter on BBC One's North West Tonight. He is also regularly heard presenting programmes on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Over the years Tony has been a regular on Have I Got News For You, appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks and presented the BBC TV gameshow Traitor.

He has also written and fronted television documentaries for the BBC and Channel 4.

After the breakfast show every morning while receiving his post-programme foot massage, Tony and producer Alison make the Breakfast Show Podcast.

That podcast has been number one on BBC regional radio for almost two years now!

So at least somebody loves him.
