  Thanks.
  
  Also, for news I have to say Dominic Byrne (sp?) & Carrie Davis too on Radio 1. Also, Alexa Rowe, some of you may not have heard of her but she was on Town 102 until she left. I think she went to a GCap station but totally unsure.

  Nicola Bonn - although I am very biased.
  
  Used to work with Howard Hughes and he is a very dedicated newsreader/journalist, sadly I have no idea where he is now. Justin Kings is another really great newsreader/journalist now at BBC London as deputy editor.

  News - Graham Whyte, ex City, now Radio Merseyside. Very listenable voice and great phrasing, meaning you can absorb the details even when you are only half listening.
  
  Travel - are there any? I genuinely can't think of one that stands out as being someone I admire. Most are too busy acting as sidekicks and trying to get a foot in the presenting door - nothing wrong with that, but it does tend to detract from their main duty as a travel presenter.

  Phil Parry used to be on Radio Broadland a few years ago as the Sports producer I think and also the 3rd voice on the breakfast show, he always sounded good and down to earth. Glad to hear he's still about and doing well!

  Howard Hughes was on the Steve Penk Breakfast show this week on the Revolution. It was only for 4 days but said he'd be back.

  Are we allowed non favourites ?
  
  LBC has a female newsreader who iriitates the hell out of me by attaching an 'S' on to the end of every 'T' she enunciates. It's like she has a little hi-hat next to her script.

  The Wave in Swansea has a news reader who does that too, she's called Sabrina Radmore and as well as that the way she over pronounces every word irritates the crap out of me and a LOT of other people.

  The extremely hot Joanne Webb for traffic (now gone on maternity leave).
  
  The sexy sounding and looking Emily Littlemore for the news.
  
  Both on (were on) LBC.

  Howard Hughes was at Smooth Radio before Sandy Warr (whatever happened to her?).
  
  Bill Overton is great.
