The voice of Charles Nove is familiar to millions throughout the UK,
thanks to some 29 years' exposure 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 Radio work has included presentation for London's Magic 105.4,
Oneword Digital, Jazz FM 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.

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,
or being your amiable audio tour guide around some of the world's
finest Museums and Art Galleries.

2007 saw a return to Radio 2, with Charles becoming one of the team on
regular morning Newsreading duties, and there's more of that scheduled
for 2008, as he gamely dodges the flying sausages and airy banter of
the UK's favourite breakfast show.

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 a vintage London bus!
