Graham Dene

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Graham Dene (born April 7th, 1949) is a British radio personality.

Graham began his broadcasting career at the radio station at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington in London, before moving to the United Biscuits Network, based at the McVities factory in Harlesden, working alongside the likes of Nicky Horne, Roger Scott and Adrian Love. He then moved to Radio City 96.7 in Liverpool prior to a 17-year tenure at Capital Radio (broadcasting on both Capital FM and Capital Gold during his time with the company, remembered best for his decade as breakfast host). Graham moved to the new national station Virgin 1215 in April 1993, initially as weekend breakfast presenter before heading up mid-mornings. In 1999, following Emap's acquisition of Melody FM, rebranded as Magic 105.4 in January that year, Graham replaced Tony Myatt on the drivetime show, before moving to breakfast, and joining fellow colleague ex-Virgin programme controller Richard Skinner. In September 2005, Graham was replaced on the breakfast show by former Capital Radio drivetime host Neil Fox, and has himself returned to the afternoon shift, where he can be heard every weekday from 5pm to 8pm.

Graham is married and has two young children.
