Heidi Dawson BBC Head of Salford and Controller BBC Radio 5 Live - This Is MediaCity

Heidi Dawson has a double role at MediaCity, being the BBC’s Head of Salford and also Controller of BBC Radio 5 Live - the first radio station to broadcast from here.Heidi says she was one of the first people to put their hand up when the BBC announced its decision to move North and that stems from a “a real burning ambition to be in Greater Manchester” even as a youngster.She didn’t realise it at the time, but she isn’t the first member of her family to work out of Salford Quays.On the podcast we also discuss the impact that the BBC has had on the region, plus of course, how being up North has changed the tone of the BBC.We’ll also look at what next for the corporation and also if you’re on the hunt for some work - how on earth you get a job at the BBC…#BBC #Salford #MediaCity #Radio #5Live #Podcasting #Media #BehindTheScenes #SalfordQuays #WorkExperience #Jobs Hosted on Acast.
