A DARLINGTON voice will accompany North-East commuters on their drive home from work.

Radio presenter Tim West, who was born in Darlington, is set to take over Sun FM’s Big Drive Home.

Mr West, who has worked in radio for more than 16 years, will entertain audiences from 3pm until 7pm Monday to Friday.

He said: “I love Sun FM and have aspired to a week day show for some time.”

Programme Director at 103.4 Sun FM Simon Grundy says : “I am delighted that Tim has agreed to take over the ‘Big Drive Home’ and I’m sure he’ll soon become part of our daily routine here in Sunderland.”
