Ed James To Front A New Mid-Morning Show

Ed James is getting ready to front a new mid-morning show on BBC Radio WM from Tuesday 22nd April.

With his trademark humour and undoubtable love for the place he calls home, his programme will celebrate the very best people and stories from across Birmingham and the Black Country.

Ed started his broadcasting career on BBC Local Radio in York and for the last two decades he has been a top listener favourite on Heart West Midlands. Now he says returning to the BBC feels like coming home…

"Joining BBC Radio WM feels like coming home to the heart of something truly special. The West Midlands is like no other place – it's the people who make it extraordinary. Their stories, passions, and that unbeatable sense of humour bring this region to life. There’s a unique energy here, a vibrancy that sets the Midlands apart, and we’re putting it front and centre. Our new show will be a celebration of everything that makes Birmingham and the Black Country incredible – from the big issues that matter to you, to showcasing local achievements and welcoming the stars who stop by. This is more than just a radio show – it’s about connecting, celebrating, and championing the very best of our region. Together, we'll tell the stories that truly matter and shine a light on what makes the West Midlands unbeatable."
