Josh Watton

Sports Journalist @BBC

With the sport team at BBC Radio Manchester I have worked on our live output and podcasts. I regularly commentate on games across the EFL, WSL and National League. I write and read our sport bulletins, ensuring my coverage of breaking news is clear, concise and accurate. I have produced our Saturday Sport show, Sunday Sport show and daily sport show, ‘Talking Balls’. I ensure these shows maintain the BBC’s high standards whilst engaging new audiences. I use social media to expand our output and reach new audiences. My posts have received thousands of views and create healthy debate on our regions sport stories. I contribute to ‘The Wanderer’ podcast, creating a lively show which involves opinion, debate and factual information.
