Colin Owen
Colin Owen presents and produces our Friday Lunchtime show:
I have until recently presented “ The Buzz” on WFM with Colleague Chris Paul.
I have been a Board Member of Wythenshawe FM of the for the past seven years and on behalf of the Board I am responsible for Scheduling and Content.
From 1981 -1997, I used to be part of the “Torchlight” and “Who Cares?” Teams at BBC Radio Manchester, this included Co presenting, the show with Lorraine Worsley-Carter and driving the desk for other programmes such as Late Night Line.
In my teens and twenties you will also find me DJing at local clubs and functions in Wythenshawe and beyond. I even DJ’d at Discotheque Royale.
During Lockdown I had the pleasure of Producing Susie Mathis show “ That Friday Feeling” which was a fantastic experience.
I enjoy presenting my Friday lunchtime show when I hope to start the weekend with some light hearted fun and great music and interaction.
Other times you will find me filling in for other presenters when they are unavailable.
Stronger Routes To Better Health
This occasional series of The Buzz, is part of a wider project to tackle health inequalities in Wythenshawe. Working in partnership with Manchester Local Care Organisation, in particular the neighbourhood team in Northenden and Brooklands. Each show has a different topic, which Colin discusses in depth with local health professionals.
