IT’S a great pity that locally-born radio presenter Victoria Derbyshire is quitting BBC Radio 5 Live this Autumn.
Victoria, who still regularly comes back to Bolton to visit her mum Pauline, has won many awards for her broadcasting and consistently turns in brilliant, objective interviews and overviews.
She appears to have been offered another BBC project and let’s hope that this is a positive move for her, not just a seat-changing exercise by the Corporation.
Victoria is a gem of a journalist who shows others the way forward, and our media would be a poorer place if she didn’t retain her deserved high-profile place.
