Excellent music, informative features, the famous 'Smush' competition, and quirkie news stories, just the thing to help your lunchtime pass quickly with Tenerife's no.1 female presenter. Maggies broadcasting style is quick and witty, but with the programme schedule as it is, she refrains from talking too much (contrary to popular belief, her “words per show” count is lower than others, who will remain nameless!), music being the main focus of her lunchtime shows.

Biog: Maggie hails from Solihull in the West Midlands. She was a British Rhythmic Gymnastics Champion aged 15 and went on to gain a B.A. with Qualified Teacher Status from the University of Warwick, where she was also honoured to have been the first female Students’ Union House Manager at any UK university. Optimistically applying for overseas jobs, she was overjoyed to be offered a post at the Wingate School in south Tenerife as her first teaching appointment, responsible for the education of the reception infants. Two years into her career and she met Ian, something happened (either the earth moved or the bed legs caved in) and they married in St. Lucia in 1992. After realising she had the gift of the gab, she left teaching in 1994 to pursue a career in entertainment. The transition into radio was incidental – Maggie became the island’s first main line female presenter, hosting a weekend lunchtime show. In her spare time, Maggie also fell into another great job – presenting international boxing events held on the island, where she completed another first – the World’s first televised female M.C. (“We don’t ‘ave them in England, and I ain’t seen none in the States neither.” – Pat Cowdell). A few appearances on Eurosport and Via Digital (Spain’s equivalent of Sky Sports) ensured she was seen at one point by 12 million viewers, doing the “Let’s get ready to rumble” speeches in both English and Spanish. Maggie is the music buyer and playlist co-ordinator for the station, and she aims to provide a wide selection of new music which is appropriate to the huge age range of listeners, whilst maintaining the station’s policy of providing quality musical entertainment 25 questions in 25 seconds!
