two years.

主播大秀 Controller English Regions, Andy Griffee, says: "Tamsin has been an incredibly
successful leader for the 主播大秀 in Leeds and I'm delighted that she will now have
the opportunity to bring her skill and experience to managing our local TV,
radio and online services in the North West at such an important crossroads with
exciting plans for the 主播大秀's expansion in the region firmly in the pipeline."

Tamsin is currently Head of 主播大秀 Yorkshire - a role she has held for the last two
and a half years.

As a former editor of North West Tonight, she already knows
the region well and is looking forward to taking up this new challenge.

She says: "I couldn't resist the chance to come back to Manchester especially at this
exciting time for the 主播大秀 in the North West.

"I am sad to be leaving Leeds and
the great team who work in West Yorkshire but the opportunity to return to the
area where I spent 10 wonderful years is too good to pass up."

still at university.

After completing the 主播大秀 journalism course she worked for
several local radio stations throughout the country before moving into TV to

She was
appointed Head of 主播大秀 Yorkshire in April 2004 and is currently responsible for
all 主播大秀 services across the Yorkshire region.
