Presenters / Paul Newman
Paul Newman

Saturday: 8am-1pm
Sunday: 8am-1pm

Paul lives in Newbury and couldn't wait to get involved in the station. He's always loved radio and, like many presenters, managed to wangle his way into 'the business' through a combination of talent and luck! Paul was in Oxford when Fox FM was about to launch and spotted a door open - so he sneaked in, left his demo tape on the programme controllers desk and a few days later got that magical call!

Highlights of his career include working alongside radio legends Tony Blackburn and Dave Lee Travis and appearing on Page 3 of the Sun...mercifully with his clothes on!

Locally, Paul's helped warm-up the crowds at both the Hungerford and Thatcham Xmas Lights 2009 ceremonies. Just don't ask him to repeat his "famous" Christmas joke!

More about me:

Name: Paul Newman

Age: Pass!

Starsign: Cancer with Leo rising!

1st job: Organ repair man and (much) later, a topless go-go dancer!

Whom do you admire? Whoever can mend "Broken Britain!"

TV Show now? Mock the Week, Top Gear, X Factor, Come Dine With Me, or that TV Show "Seconds away from Disaster" (reminiscent of my own radio programme!) 

Song? Far too many favourites to list just one, but any Soul or R&B is surefire listening material!
