Real Radio Signs Simon Cowell's Brother
Simon Cowell's brother Tony has been signed by Real Radio as its official X-Factor correspondent.
From August 21, Tony Cowell will report a twice weekly round-up of all the latest inside gossip into Real Radio’s breakfast shows in Wales, Yorkshire, the North West, North East and Scotland.
Broadcast on a Friday and Monday morning, the updates will give listeners behind-the-scenes access to the biggest X-Factor stories before and after the weekend shows.
John Simons, Group Programme Director of GMG Radio which operates Real Radio said: “Tony is a great personality and we are over the moon to have Simon Cowell’s brother reporting on the X-Factor for Real Radio. His journalistic, broadcasting experience and relationship with Simon means we have a presenter who will get those great stories and will bring them to the Real Radio listener first. We are delighted to have Tony on board and very excited to be the must listen radio station for X-Factor news. This is one of the best and most influential TV shows to hit the UK in decades.”
Tony Cowell added: “As a celebrity news journalist I have covered American Idol for US Radio for the past two years - and it was great fun. I've always wanted to cover the X Factor and I'm excited about working with Real Radio on this. The X Factor is Britain's top talent show - and let’s face it – it’s about time radio had a Cowell”.
