Where is tommy boyd the old talk sport presenter working now?!
Question: in early 2004, Boyd joined BBC Southern Counties Radio, where he presented a Saturday Night show (with a live internet feed) from 9pm-1am with co-presenter Allison Ferns. It was here that the Human Zoo format was resurrected along with the more controversial aspects of the Talk Radio days. For the first few months in the slot, many (generally elderly) listeners would phone-in and express their dismay at this apparent departure from the output they had so far been accustomed to. Callers would often state their annoyance then quickly hang up, not wishing to cross swords with Boyd. Those who were brave enough be it to complain or to disagree with many of Boyd's proposals would frequently find themselves confronted with a strong argument. Boyd has stated that one of the things that annoys him is a person with a closed mind.
On the occasions when Allison Ferns was absent, cover would come in the guises of Lisa Francesca Nand, Alyson Mead, and on one show (New Year's Eve 2005), Boyd's wife, Jayne.
Since April 2006 Boyd has presented a daily afternoon show from 1pm to 4pm, Monday to Friday. Initially the show was co-presented with Allison Ferns again but is now hosted by Boyd alone. Several popular elements from the past have resurfaced, such as "The Angry Hour", "The Irritable Hour", and once again on the final hour of the Friday show "The Wonderful Hour".
Since August 5th, 2007, Boyd can now also be heard on Sunday nights on Play Radio UK, an internet radio station.
