Sir Robin Knox Johnston is to present a new weekly radio show for the BBC.

The renowned yachtsman is to take the helm of BBC Radio Solent’s ‘The H20 Show’, to be broadcast on Friday evenings from 7-8pm, with the first show to go out on the 18th April.

Sir Robin said, “Boating has got to be one of the biggest sports in Hampshire, it’s a major activity for people, but the coverage has been limited so far.

“The show will be about any activity on or in the water, we want to talk to anyone who goes afloat. And you won’t have to be an expert. We want to include information that is useful whether your livelihood is on the water or it it’s just how you spend your leisure time.”

The show will be available after broadcast as a Podcast. Visit BBC Hampshire for more information.
