Welcome to davemason.tv
The following pages display my career portfolio across broadcasting and journalism - a rewarding, exciting and colourful set of experiences, to say the least.
From being Britain's youngest consortium member to win a radio franchise, ( Orchard FM ), & making the opening announcement, to presenting on radio & tv, interviewing Johnny Depp in the Savoy, Samuel L Jackson on a Liverpool rooftop, being kidnapped in Beirut, undercover drug investigations, and travelling through Europe in a tourbus with punk legends The Stranglers, I can handle any situation thrown at me with energy and enthusiasm.
You can click on the showreels above to see & hear examples of my tv, radio and voice-over work over the years, and an interactive c.v. does the same.
I’ve worked in BBC network radio, regional and network ITV, and have done voice over work for Discovery.
There’s a section dealing with media training & consultancy, as well as a media page
offering classic artist sessions from an archive of acts that I’ve produced.
For nearly 10 years I was a producer / director at GMTV / ITV Daybreak, working on much of the news & factual / entertainment output for the 6 - 8:30am segments.
I have now left Daybreak and am back in the West freelancing at ITV Westcountry as a reporter / producer.
I've also covered the Royal Wedding as a British based radio correspondent for Australian radio.
Please feel free to peruse the following pages and post me a message if anything is of interest to you.
I do hope you find the site of interest - thanks for your time
