THERE'S a new man in the hot seat at Forces Radio broadcasting from Catterick Garrison.

Colin Woolley has taken over as station manager from Mark Page, who left last month.

As well as presenting a new breakfast show, Colin will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the operation, which targets soldiers and their families at the North Yorkshire base as well as in Ireland, the Balkans and Nepal.

Mr Woolley, a married man with two children, comes to the station from Magic AM, in Sheffield, and has been in the industry since 1987.

"I wanted a fresh challenge and this certainly is that. Getting used to military terminology though is very confusing - everyone talks in abbreviations and it's like trying to learn a new language!" he said.
