He moved to the BBC in London in March 1978, to take up a post as a BBC Radio 4 announcer. He remained in that role until 1981.
Edgar spent some time managing the BBC’s Ascension Island facility.
He would later return to BBC Northern Ireland: he produced the George Jones show for BBC Radio Ulster; and he would return to television continuity in 1994.
