From presenting AA Roadwatch travel news to producing the English Cricket Board's audio website for the summer Test series against the West Indies, presenter Jane Markham has had a varied career in radio, writes Paul Warner.

Now Ms Markham, who can boast more than 20 years' experience in the industry, will be working in the offices of the Oxford Mail's sister paper, the Bicester Advertiser. She will present programmes on the new MORE 106.8 FM, which will broadcast live from a studio in Market Square.

Listeners from Bicester and across the county will be able to tune in and listen to Ms Markham, who has worked as a freelance for Classic FM and who was head of news at Fox FM in Oxfordshire in 1989.

She began her career in the industry as a secretary at Capital Radio, in London, before landing a slot as presenter for AA Roadwatch. Other stints in the radio business include jobs as a newsreader and reporter on Radio One's Newsbeat.

She says: "I'm really looking forward to presenting programmes on the station. It should be good fun."

Ms Markham, 43, from Beckley, will present the evening show from 7pm to 11pm from Monday to Friday, playing popular music spanning the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

The station goes on air from Saturday until October 27. Ms Markham will begin at the start of the second week. She adds: "There's going to be some great presenters on MORE 106.8 FM and I'm really looking forward to starting."

MORE 106.8 FM is back on the airwaves for a second time after broadcasting for a month from the Oxford Mail offices, in Osney Mead, in January.

Newsquest (Oxfordshire), publisher of the Bicester Advertiser, The Oxford Times and the Oxford Mail, has teamed up with radio operator Chrysalis Radio and other local businesses to bring MORE 106.8 FM to the airwaves.

The group, called South Central Media, hopes that the Radio Authority will award a licence to a new station in the county.

If the authority takes the decision to advertise a new full-time licence for Oxfordshire, then MORE 106.8 FM, will bid for it.
