Alpha - Beat.




Atlantic 252 listeners will, no doubt, remember the man they called Pizzaman. He was one of the station's greatest presenters, working everything from evenings, to afternoon drive before ending up on mornings.
Since Atlantic, he has worked on Galaxy in Manchester, Metro in Newcastle and cut his teeth even further in Edmonton and Calgary in Canada (under the on air name Mojo).

These days young Pizzaman is known as Nick Jordan and works Middays for Alpha 103.2 in Darlington, England.
But all of that is about to change.
Alpha is going through a 'soft re-brand' and will become Aplha Radio - dropping the frequency from the name. With the re-brand comes a schedule change and Nick will become the new Breakfast host on the station.

In my humble opinion, this is where he belongs. He has the talent, the ambition, the desire and the passion to make great radio (always has). His commitment to the craft never wanes and I have no doubt that the show and the station will benefit from the move.

Eventually, I'm hoping to hear Pizzaman/Mojo/Nick on a National. Absolute would do well to take a look at him.

Trip down memory lane? Here's the man in action with Lois Lane in the studios of Atlantic 252 in the late 90's:
