Former Rutland Radio presenter Rob Persani looks ahead to challenge of creating new community station for county

A long-standing radio presenter is looking forward to the challenge of creating a new station following the rebranding of Rutland Radio.

Rob Persani was a figurehead of the station for 21 years before Bauer Media axed its local presenters and switched to national content last week.

Luckily for Rob, Rutland County Council was already hatching a plan to save local radio and knew there was only one man for the job .
