Frisk Radio appoints Danny Coucill as station manager

Frisk Radio has appointed Danny Coucill as its new Station Manager and Executive Producer, strengthening the station’s leadership as it continues to grow across the North.

The appointment brings day-to-day responsibility for programming and production under a single role, supporting Frisk’s ongoing expansion on DAB and online platforms.

Danny joins Frisk Radio following three years at Bauer Media, where he worked as producer of Steve and Karen’s Breakfast Show on Hits Radio North East, previously Metro Radio and TFM.

Before Bauer, Danny held a number of roles at Global, spanning both sales and programming. His early programming experience included working on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X, giving him exposure to national radio production alongside commercial and audience-focused broadcasting.

Danny said he was looking forward to the challenge of the new role and to shaping the station’s sound. He said he was pleased to be joining a growing radio brand and welcomed the opportunity to develop an authentic product for audiences across the North.
