Meet Rod

Rod saw a lot more of the world after following his parents into the forces with special duties tours in the Middle East and NATO.

He left the RAF in 1986 and by the late 1980s he was living a curious double life as Managing Director of a new homes division during the day and Radio Station 'gofer' during the evenings (Radio Trent in Nottingham).

Eventually, Rod made his way full time into radio as a freelance sports reporter covering a range of sports for national networks including an entire European Golf Tour.

Rod Whiting and the BBC Lincolnshire Breakfast Show team

He moved into news at Lincs FM when the commercial station opened in 1992 and, after two years as News Editor there, moved to London for a spell helping to run the national sports desk at IRN.

Lincolnshire's quality of life soon tempted Rod back when he joined BBC Radio Lincolnshire in 1995. Since then, he's worked on TV - East Midlands Today and News 24 - and worked in a variety of roles at the radio station culminating in his current spell on Breakfast.
