Brian Curtis joined Vectis Radio in around 2014 he presented a Thursday night show the eclectic mix for many years until September this year, Brian needed to spend more time working on other projects, the door has been left ajar for a return possibly in 2022.

James Wilson presented the teatime show with Geoff Horsnell for awhile and then Covid kicked in and things changed so much that James had to spend more time flying around the world in his plane personally I think this is a dreadful excuse who wants to fly around the world instead of working on the radio. I do have a feeling and hope that one day James will return to FM10 4.6.

Shaun O’Brien came on board a couple of years ago and covered many shows including his own teatime show during lockdown and there wasn’t a show that he wouldn’t help out on. In December 2020 he moved on to another radio station on the mainland and we wish him well. Newsflash.....He Back!!

Laura Galton started at Vectis in around 2018 presenting the afternoon show with John Hacker and of course son Archie. Laura is an incredible lady one minute she’s giving birth and in just a few short weeks she’s back on the airwaves but as soon as Archie was able to walk it soon became apparent that he wanted to take full control of the show and wasn’t prepared to take a back seat anymore.
