James H. Reeve

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James H Reeve.

James Hengist Reeve is a UK broadcaster, journalist, raconteur and radio phone-in host based in the Manchester area. James has hosted shows on Piccadilly Radio, BBC GMR (now BBC Radio Manchester), BBC Radio Five Live, Sheffield Hallam FM, talkSPORT, TEAMtalk radio stations and, up until July 2006, presented the late night phone-in show at Key 103.

James has recently ended a four week spell as the weekend morning presenter of 106.1 Rock Radio Manchester, between 6am and 10am. He came to a mutual agreement with the station, and the reason given, is that other commitments were making it a difficult task to carry on presenting at such an awkward hour, this was James' shortest spell at any station.

James has also worked on radio in Saudi Arabia and is widely acknowledged within the broadcasting industry to be a specialist at launching and assisting with appeals.

He appeared in the 1981 TV production of 'Strike: The Birth of Solidarity' with Sir Ian Holm.

Tommy Boyd famously mused, "do you think James H Reeve is a communist?"

A resident of Prestwich, James is a keen supporter of Manchester City.
