Steve (Stephen) Duncan Bailey born December 17, 1975 is an English broadcaster. He currently hosts the BBC Radio Leeds drivetime show, entitled Steve Bailey's Big Drive Home.
[edit] Career
Steve Bailey joined BBC Radio Leeds having spent a total of 12 years in commercial radio [1], working in areas such as Stockport, Stoke On Trent and Manchester before settling in West Yorkshire.
He began his broadcasting career at Signal Cheshire (now Imagine FM) in 1995, fronting the ‘Late Night Love Affair’. He continued there until 1999 when, after presenting evenings and afternoon-drive he thought it time to pursue his teaching ambitions.
After a number of years teaching High School Science and PE, Steve returned to radio and joined Signal 1 in Stoke On Trent to presenting the drive-time show.
He enjoyed a short over-lapping spell at 1458 Manchester based at Salford Quays, before moving to The Pulse of West Yorkshire where he presented every show, culminating in Breakfast for his last two and half years there.
In Summer 2007, Steve signed with the BBC to host Drivetime for Radio Leeds.
