James Cusack (born James Michol Cusack in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, 14 January 1987) is a British radio presenter for the Galaxy Radio Network, which is broadcast across the United Kingdom (and Ireland, Sky and DAB only).
Cusack was educated at St Bernard's Catholic High School, in Rotherham, South Yorkshire and continued his education at Thomas Rotherham College, Rotherham, South Yorkshire.
In 1998, while still at school, he appeared on the ITV 1 Saturday morning children's magazine, Diggit, along with presenters Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates, now of BBC Radio 1.
Still in secondary education, Cusack learnt the trade of radio presenting at hospital radio station Chrystal Radio, based in the Sheffield Children's Hospital. In 2003, it was this that landed him a show at local radio station Hallam FM
In 2005 he was noticed by Galaxy FM and went on to present weekends, nationally on the Galaxy Network.
At a similar time, Cusack was employed by the Guardian Media Group at their regional radio station, Real Radio Yorkshire as a presenter and producer. He was also heard from time to time on Real Radio Digital.
In 2006, Cusack was approached by BBC Radio 1, to work in London, as an assistant producer at the weekend.
In early 2007, Cusack took over the Saturday breakfast show on Kiss 105-108, part of the Kiss Network, until September 2007.
Cusack finished his Kiss Saturday breakfast show in September 2007, moving back to Galaxy, initially Galaxy Birmingham, but after a few weeks he was heard presenting on Galaxy North East.
He can now be heard nationally on the Galaxy Network, including Galaxy Yorkshire, Galaxy Birmingham, Galaxy Manchester, Galaxy North East, Galaxy Digital, Galaxy Scotland and Galaxy South Coast, and still continues his regular Saturday breakfast show on Galaxy Birmingham.
Cusack has attracted much media attention for his talent at a young age and has appeared in several newspapers (including The Star) and television shows, where in the past he has been likened to a young Chris Moyles
