Alan Robson's Night Owls to end on radio, but beloved presenter has new plans

Greatest Hits Radio Metro Facebook

Radio legend Alan Robson is set to stand down from radio after more than 40 years of presenting Night Owls in the North East.

Alan, from Benwell, confirmed on Sunday that Night Owls will end this month. The once-daily late-night phone-in show moved to weekly slot on Greatest Hits Radio in 2019, after 40 years on Metro Radio, where it achieved cult-like status and a loyal audience.

Night Owls will end on Sunday April 24. But award-winning broadcaster Alan is moving into podcasting and content for Facebook, YouTube and his own website.
