Former CFM presenter Bekah Fowler to host breakfast on CRFM

Former CFM presenter Bekah Fowler is to host breakfast on Carlisle’s community radio station CRFM.
She will replace Pete Moss who is leaving to open a new bar in the city.
Programme Director Darrell Thomas told RadioToday: “We are delighted to welcome Bekah as hostess of our breakfast show.
“Bekah will be fantastic on the breakfast show as she is an early bird herself and will brighten up your day Monday to Friday on CRFM.
“I look forward to listening to the new features and competitions she will bring to entertain the listeners throughout the Carlisle area.”
Bekah adds: “I’m so honoured to have been offered the breakfast show at CRFM. I’ve known Pete for about 20 years, and he is a hard act to follow – he’s such a professional.
“The radio station is undoubtedly my ‘Happy Place’, and I can’t wait to get started.”
Pete will be continuing to present his local artists and bands show ‘Cumbriana’ on a Tuesday evening plus co-hosting the CRFM Top 40 Chart on a Saturday with Chloe Quinn and Sunday evenings 7-10pm.
