Dave Hodgson
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!

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