DJ Bob Lea began his radio career with Craigavon Hospital
Radio in the 80's, during this period he worked on Radio
Carousel in Boyneside Radio and Big M.
During
June 1990 he joined Northern Sound in County Monaghan presenting
the Drive Time Show for three years.
Having decided to go back to college in 1993 he temporarily
put his radio career on hold. Enrolling on the media course
at Upper Bann Institute where in 1995 he was awarded a BTEC
Certificate in Media Studies.
His next step was to take him to Queens University of Belfast
where he enrolled as a student in 1995. After three years
of study in July 1998 he graduated with a BA 2.2 Honours
Degree in Integrated Irish Studies from Queens.
During his five years studying Bob had not completely turned
his back on the music industry as he continued to Gig occasionally.
In
1996 he joined the newly launched Townland Radio in Cookstown
- working there on a part time basis. However, he still
hankered after a full time job on air.
This opportunity came when he joined Q102. This latest
move meant a change of direction in Bob's radio career -
he was now assigned to writing and reading the news bulletins
on the station each hour.
When Q102 launched its sister station Q97.2 in Coleraine
on 1st January 2000 he joined as News Editor and also presenting
the Saturday Sports Show.
Bob
remained on Q97.2 until 2005 when he left to join Citybeat
in Belfast where he remained until December 2006 when he
moved to Five FM on it's launch where he remained until
April 2008.
