Biography

Seed first joined Radio City in 1990. Two years later, he moved to the Preston-based station Rock FM for five years. There he exasperated the Labour leader Tony Blair by asking him if he picked his nose, and which supermodel he would choose to have a one-night stand with if he thought he could get away with it. Blair replied, “That’s enough, Kev.” [1]

In 1997, he re-joined Radio City and presented The Kev Seed Breakfast Show for 11 years before moving to the Drivetime show (4pm–7pm) in August 2008. [2] He presented the early evening Drivetime show on the Liverpool radio station Radio City 96.7 until October 2008, when he was suspended and then sacked after pleading guilty to a drink-driving charge. [3] [4] Although he appealed, it was reported on 11 November that the station management had upheld their decision. [5] In October 2009, Seed started his new job as the Breakfast Presenter for Wish FM, the Radio Station for Wigan & St Helens, a year after leaving Radio City. He later presented on 107.6 Juice FM.[ when? ] As of 2014, he is voice of Sainsbury's on various radio stations. [6]

In April 2016, it was announced he would be joining the presenting line-up at Wirral Radio with producer Josef Hollywood, hosting the flagship weekend show. [7]

On 27 July 2020, Seed hosted the first ever breakfast show at Liverpool Live 24/7. [8]

Capital London is a radio station owned and operated by the Global media company as part of its national Capital FM Network. As Capital Radio it was launched in the London area in 1973 as one of Britain's first two commercial radio stations. Its brief was to entertain, while its opposite number, London Broadcasting (LBC), was licensed to provide news and information. In search of a larger audience in 1974, Capital Radio rapidly moved from a general and entertainment station with drama, features, documentaries and light music to a more successful pop music-based format. In 1988 it became two stations: Capital London and Capital Gold. After some national expansion with the purchase of other radio stations the Capital Radio Group merged with GWR Group in 2005 to form GCap Media which in turn was taken over by Global Radio in 2008. In 2011 Capital London was launched nationally, apart from the daily breakfast and weekday drivetime shows, becoming part of the Capital FM Network. In 2019 the breakfast and drivetime shows also became national.
