Barbara
Sturgeon to leave 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio Kent
 After
an amazing 20 years, Barbara Sturgeon will be hanging up her headphones
and bidding a fond farewell to 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio Kent at the end of January.
One
of the most distinctive voices in the county is moving on to pursue
other interests both inside and outside the world of broadcasting.
Apart
from a two year stint at 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio 2, Barbara has been a regular
companion for Kent's radio listeners since joining the former 麻豆官网首页入口
Radio Medway in 1983.
Her
reports from the trouble-spots of Northern Ireland and Teabreak
features were followed by Drivetime and the Sunday request show.
Most
recently she has been hosting the lunchtime news and current affairs
programme, never shying away from tackling serious issues such as
education, health, bereavement, relationships and child abuse.
The
winner of two Sony local radio personality of the year awards, Barbara
has fronted debates on the Zeebruge Inquiry, the Channel Tunnel
and election specials, interviewing such figures as Neil Kinnock
and Sir Geoffery Howe.
Robert
Wallace, Managing Editor, 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio Kent, says: "It
goes without saying that Barbara's departure will be a great loss
to 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio Kent and she will be greatly missed by staff, contributors
and listeners alike.
"Barbara
is a professional broadcaster of the highest order and her impressive
reputation extends well beyond the borders of Kent."
Barbara
says: "It's been a privilege to work for the 麻豆官网首页入口 and to have
met so many amazing people over the years. I'm sure our paths will
cross again in the future."
