Chris Brooks - Radio DJ

---

Chris was 15 when I started Hospital Radio in Eastbourne, He loved it and would recommend it to anyone who fancied doing Radio as a career. "It really gives you an idea of what is involved, doing a show on Hospital Radio is the same process as doing a show on 95.8 Capital FM." Since Hospital Radio Chris has worked for many stations in the UK, (for the anoraks they are Chiltern, Northants 96, Horizon, Metro, Galaxy101, Kix 96, Essex Fm and the GWR Network).

Capital was always the place Chris wanted to work at since he was a kid growing up in Watford, "DJ's I looked up to at the time were all on Capital the likes of Chris Tarrant, Pat Sharp, Mick Brown and Foxy".

He now lives in Essex with his wife Karen, and has a daughter called Kirsty "she is into Busted and Mcfly", ( show me an 11 year old girl that isn't)

Chris moved to Essex 5 years ago when he was at Essex FM "I feel as if I have been adopted as an Essex boy now". He use to do a show there with Scott Robinson who had just left the band 5ive, "Me and Scott had a great laugh on air and have become good mates now and still see each other most weeks, and when he has a poker night I go round and win his money, which is nice!"

You can hear Chris' shows on 95.8 Capital FM Saturday Breakfast 6-9am and "The Capital Jukebox" Sunday afternoon 1-4
