Richard Becker
Richard Becker has been with Chelmsford Community Radio 104.4FM since August 2019 as part of a news team that was being established.
But let’s rewind to the beginning – Richard has actually been in radio since January 1987. He started out doing hospital radio in Basildon for 18 years. Presenting a number of shows including working behind the scenes of the sports show. He then went to Gateway 97.8 (Basildon) in June 2006 and was there for twelve years. In that time he presented Strictly 80s and took a turn at presenting each one of their live shows at least once. He was also part of the London 2012 Olympics reporting team.
In August 2017 he managed a radio marathon where he got to sit in the the same seat in the studio for eleven hours and presented four shows!
Away from CCR 104.4FM, he works part time for a petrol station as a Customer Service Assistant, a job he have being doing since March 2016. I was also working when Covid struck in 2020.
You can listen to Richard on the Lunchtime show every Wednesday between 12-2pm where he plays a mix of old favourites and new. He also provides a Local Sport update every week. You can share your local sports news with Richard by emailing studio@chelmsfordcommunityradio.com
