The BBC seems to have secured a well-rounded, thoughtful character to run Radio Wales.
Carolyn Hitt, 53 (Cardinal Newman Roman Catholic School, Rhydyfelin and Hertford College, Oxford) was born in Llwynypia, Tonypandy, and now lives in Cardiff. She edited The Classroom Gazette at primary school, broadcast on Radio Oxford as a student, and mentored fresher Carole Cadwalladr. She did a post-grad journalism training course in Newcastle, before heading homewards to a traineeship on Neath Guardian and the Merthyr Express.
She's been a Western Mail columnist for 30 years, and a regular contributor to Welsh broadcasting, especially on rugby and the arts. She was a joint-founder of Parasol Productions which minded Only Connect for a while.
She takes over a station with a weekly reach of 371,000, down from close to 500,000 in 2013.
