After five and a bit years covering business on Radio 4's Today programme, Dominic O'Connell is back with News UK, as first Business Correspondent for Times Radio (and he gets a Times column).
Dominic (St Bede's College Christchurch and BA and Diploma in Journalism, University of Canterbury, NZ) came to Today from The Sunday Times, putting a few noses out of joint at the BBC, where News staff thought there was an external recruitment freeze. From the start, he tried to pack into his slots more than elderly ears could comprehend. He's had a couple of summer weekend stabs at presenting the whole show, but probably realises, with Kuenssberg, Sopel and others circling, his long-term prospects are better elsewhere, and certainly not in the gift of the current Today editor.
