He was with his last station for two years where he was a key player on and off air creating and producing new shows, raising audience figures hosting daytimes then drivetime plus weekends and covering the morning breakfast show too. He is now looking for bigger and new challenging radio opportunities this year and is dipping his hand in music management too. "Ben is fast, funny and sounds perfect for CHR or Hot A.C."
