Exclusive: Penk buys Revolution FM
TV and radio presenter Steve Penk has become sole owner of Oldham radio station The Revolution. He's bought the entire share capital of Oldham FM Ltd.

Penk told us:

"For some time I’ve been looking at various possible acquisitions but was very keen to find something in the two UK markets I know best, the North West and the South East.

"The Revolution fits the brief perfectly and I have big plans for the radio station. The North West is a fantastic market currently dominated by the huge radio groups and the BBC."

We'll bring you more news of Penk's plans for the station in Friday's edition.
