5. How did it all start?
Berry's radio career began on Capital FM in 2007 where he presented an afternoon slot on a Saturday. Dave presented this show for 12 weeks, as well as the Capital drive time show for around two years and the XFM Breakfast show which achieved some of the highest listening figures for the station. (RAJAR) He was eventually moved about once again within the radio group (GLOBAL) and replaced Johnny Vaughan on Capital Breakfast in 2012 and continues to present the show today.

7. My career
I would like to become a radio presenter for my career and Dave Berry inspires me to do this as a profession. I wake up and listen to Capital Breakfast every morning and thoroughly enjoy listening to his radio show. He is very entertaining and works well with his co-host, Lisa Snowdown. He has a very large following with lots of interaction throughout the show and has experimented with lots of different radio roles, before landing on the breakfast show which he continues to present. He has helped capital breakfast boost their radio listening figures massively and is a key asset to global radio.
