Young, Lynsey

Lynsey graduated from the University of Manchester. She began her broadcasting career co-presenting and producing the Breakfast Show for Heart 106.2 (January 1997 – February 1997). She then became a national reporter (October 1997 – December 1999), fronting travel news on Kiss 100, Virgin Radio, TalkSport, Magic 105.4 and GMTV.

Next, came a creative producer role with TalkSport (December 1999 – March 2003), where she worked in a promotion production department, which entailed writing, voicing, directing and producing: commercials, promotions, station idents, documentaries and jingle packages.

She also managed to squeeze in an announcing role with Granada Sky Broadcasting (October 2002 – May 2004). BBC Radio 6 Music was next on Lynsey’s list, where she was a broadcast assistant (April 2003 – April 2004), working on the Breakfast Show with Phil Jupitus.

She then moved into an announcing job with BBC network TV, covering BBC One and BBC Two (April 2004 – present). In addition to this, she took on announcing duties for UKTV Gold, UKTV History, UKTV Style and UKTV Food (February 2005 – October 2007).

Her UKTV role later became more of an off air function (October 2007 – October 2008), overseeing the writing and announcing on the various lifestyle channels, sub-editing and crosschecking scripts and attending meetings with UKTV marketing and planning personnel.

She later took on an announcing role for UKTV channel Watch (October 2009 – present).

Lynsey has also provided writing and announcing services for various other channels: Channel 4; E4; More4; Film4; Sky Living (May 2015 – July 2016); Discovery Inc (since June 2019). She also provides other voiceover services in a freelance capacity: commercials, promotions, station imaging, TV narration and corporate presentation.

Since 2016, she has provided voiceovers for BBC World News.
