Anthony Ballard

The road to BFBS Radio has been a varied and interesting one for Anthony who studied at Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design. This led to a career in London, and ultimately Thailand, as a graphic designer. Whilst in Thailand Anthony’s radio career took off when he was asked to present a drive time show for Pulse 107. One thing led to another and he was soon presenting Bangkok Breakfast on 95.5 FMX as well as having a regular spot on a TV music channel and presenting a travel programme on Star TV.

Coming back to the UK Anthony soon found himself getting up for another breakfast show, this time for WFM in the West Country, where he eventually became Station Manager before moving to Star 106.6 in Slough. Anthony took time out last year to qualify as a hypnotherapist whilst at the same time carrying out consultancy work for the Radio Academy.

Anthony's first posting will see him joining BFBS radio in Germany. He said, ‘BFBS is an exciting place to be. I am looking forward to my first posting and to working with a great team.’
