Dave produces and presents several shows for KLTV, including our news segments and monthly business programme. He is also responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of sound equipment and the technical operation of all equipment. 

With a B.A. in History of Social English Language, Dave’s media career began at the BBC where he was employed for 15 years, starting out as a technical operator, moving onto presenting and eventually becoming a news anchor. He would later be a producer for a daily magazine programme and a specialist music programme, before moving onto becoming a lecturer & tutor at Trinity & All Saints College, specialising in presentation drama and multi-track music recording.  Here he tutored students on radio, sound reproduction and presentation, which involved liaising and working with the newly formed Ridings Media, producing local television for the Bradford area. Dave then retired, only to be asked to join the Dearne Media Group, producing local television for the Barnsley area. From this he became involved with Kirklees Local Television in both the Presentation and Technical departments. 

At KLTV Dave fully commits himself to any task required of him, from rigging up the sound system to presenting our hard hitting and complex news programmes. Production has always been his hobby as well as spending time with grandchildren and great grandchildren – he has subsequently decided it is useless to try to retire as no-one will let him!

Barrie is a director and producer at KLTV, working on Vision Mixing, Sound Mixing and Autocue.

Barrie edits for several of our programmes including The Business Programme and KLTV News and designed the whole KLTV Studio set up – installing all the equipment and wiring with the assistance of Dave Hodgson. With thirty-two years of experience at the BBC and having passed the Technical Operations Exam, Barrie offers endless industry insight and skills, able to meet any requirements at KLTV with ease.

Barrie’s BBC Career started in Technical Operations in Manchester later moving to Leeds as a Studio Manager working mainly on Radio Drama with some Light Entertainment and Television work. He later became Producer at BBC Radio Leeds where he spent twenty years specialising in Music Productions and Presentation. After retirement, Barrie set up a recording business specialising in Brass Bands, Choirs and Orchestras and he also worked extensively for Doyen Record, and at the end of 2014 he became involved with KLTV, helping to set up both the recording studio and control room for broadcasting.

Barrie’s interests involve Music and Drama and he often helps local Amateur Dramatic Societies with their productions and he is also a member of Wakefield Little Theatre Group. In his spare time Barrie creates music backing tracks for his partner Wendy so that she can entertain at retirement homes, he describes himself someone who likes to keep busy and hates being idle.

David is an experienced management professional and academic, specialising in personal and professional development through his self-coaching RIDFEARÒ and nationally recognised 21^st Century Leaders courses.

Fundamental to this is his belief in the necessity to promote the role of Intrapreneurs in our organisations and the development of the associated attitude, knowledge and skill-sets they need.

He is extremely experienced at facilitating and developing groups, either open-access or corporate, and getting them to acknowledge and appreciate the issues and situations that face them. From this they can then begin to take ownership before engaging with, developing and delivering appropriate and innovative solutions to challenging managerial dilemmas.

Following a successful early career in product development, project, operations and general management with Huddersfield based international defence and heavy engineering company, David Brown (Gears), he became an independent manufacturing systems consultant prior to joining Huddersfield University Business School.

As Senior Lecturer and Course Leader there he was involved with many post-graduate management development programmes before leaving to set up Partners in Management, which is a Chartered Management Institute Approved Centre at masters level.

Inspired by his action-learning background, his vision is to provide flexible, cost and time effective personal and management development programmes to small groups, which through education, discussion and reflection really help change managerial attitudes and behaviours.

David is also involved with supporting local enterprise thorough his voluntary work as a Kirklees Business Advocate, the FSB and the Mid-Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, amongst others.

As a life-long Huddersfield Town supporter, he is enjoying the Premier League experience – irrespective of the outcome! When not watching football, his hobbies include ‘tinkering’ with his classic cars and DIY.
