The
voice of Charles Nove is familiar throughout the UK,
thanks to more than 30 years of being "all over the place like a rash"'
on Radio and Television
programmes and commercials.
Charles
began his broadcasting life as a Hospital Radio volunteer
in Glasgow, before he was signed-up as the BBC's youngest Presenter,
back in 1978, for the launch of their new station Radio Scotland.
In
1981, he was invited to move to London to join BBC
Radio 2
as a Newsreader & Presenter. His programming engagements there
included Nightride and the weekly film magazine Cinema 2.
From
1989 onwards, Charles pursued a varied freelance career.
His Commercial Radio work has included presentation for
London's Magic 105.4, Jazz FM,
Oneword Digital, and Saga Radio in Glasgow.
On
Television, Charles has worked on a wide variety of programmes,
including Variety Club Awards, UK Dance Championships,
World Circus Championships, The Lord Mayor's Show, Big Break,
The National Lottery and the now legendary Bruce Forsyth edition of
Have I Got News For You.
He's
proud to have been associated with the world's longest-running
musical television series, Come Dancing, clocking up 12 years as
the show's Commentator/Co-Presenter.
Known as a useful man to have around in a crisis,
Charles was an obvious choice for the BBC's crack "Y2K" team
of Millennium Bug busters, who were on duty in a bunker
as the year 2000 arrived, poised for action if the dreaded bug bit.
It didn't. So they opened the Champagne like everyone else!
During
the 2002 Commonwealth Games, Charles was part of the team
providing commentary for the international feeds of the Shooting events.
You
may also have heard those familiar tones voicing programme trailers
and promotions on a range of channels, or perhaps during spells as a
Continuity Announcer on BBC 1, BBC 2 and The History Channel,
hosting in-flight audio entertainment shows for leading airlines,
or being your amiable audio tour guide around some of the world's
finest Museums and Art Galleries, including collections at
Buckingham Palace, the Tate Gallery, National Portrait Gallery,
the Louvre and the Pompidou Centre.
2007
saw a return to Radio 2, with Charles becoming one of the team on
regular morning News duties, gamely dodging the flying sausages and airy banter
of
the UK's favourite breakfast show, Wake Up to Wogan.
The Terry Wogan breakfast era came to a close in December 2009.
So, what's next for Charles?
Offers are invited for the services of this familiar - and only slightly
shop-soiled - broadcaster!
In
addition to his voicing and presenting activities Charles keeps busy
as the Managing Director of A1 VOX,
the London sound studios,
and as co-owner, with four fellow broadcasters, of the vintage London buses
operated by ThisBus.com
