Chris Tibbles

Chris started his radio career at Radio Hinchingbrooke here in Huntingdon when he was just 14! He's knocking on abit now so you know that was some time ago!! From his regular Saturday morning show at the hospital radio, he moved on to join Ray and Pam as part of the 'Lazy Afternoon Show' on HCRfm's short-term FM broadcasts.

His ambition to learn and succeed in radio took him to Peterborough where Chris studied Media & Communications and Journalism Law as well as presenting on the internet student radio station.  He left college with voluntary work at Hereward FM & work experience at Lite FM under his belt and began work with shopping TV channel Ideal World. His passion for radio took him to the BBC whilst at Ideal World and Chris freelanced with BBC Radio Cambridgeshire as a technical operator/producer.

Upon leaving Ideal World Chris joined BBC Radio Cambridgeshire's Breakfast Show in Peterborough for a short time before moving to Lite FM where he became the evening show presenter and creative producer. Whilst at Lite FM Chris attracted very healthy audience figures and his evening show was broadcast across Northamptonshire on Lite's sister station Connect FM.
 
In May 2008, Chris left Lite FM to have a brief spell at Hereward FM and also lecture radio at Ramsey Abbey College. During this time he became a director of HCRfm and was part of the team that put the winning application together to win HCRfm the fulltime licence. Chris is now back with us fulltime presenting the Breakfast Show with Pam Hensley every morning as well as heading up the programming team.

What 3 words sum you up?
Fun, Passionate, Flatulent!

What is your biggest fear?
Seeing Pam without make-up!....She'll kill me for that!

What would you do if you didn't do radio?
If I didn't do radio I would have to do something similar or along the same lines. Either sound engineering again (which I did at Ideal World TV) or lecturing of radio helping others get into radio (which I did at Ramsey Abbey College).
