Kirby, who is also a visiting lecturer at the London Metropolitan University, has said that she is greatly excited at the prospect of her new position.
Premier Radio has had an exciting past year, celebrating its ninth birthday as well as being added to Freeview broadcasting. The growth of the station has been particularly eye-catching, but Premier has again expressed its desire to further increase its national audience.
As a trustee of the charity, Kirby will attend the quarterly meeting of the board, where they will come together to meet and review their progress as well as planning further strategies to advance Premier Media Group’s brands, which include Premier Christian Radio, Christianity Magazine, Youthwork Magazine and Premier Online.
David Heron, the Chairman of Premier Radio, has expressed his delight at the new appointment, saying, "Katei's experience will be invaluable to the extension of the work of Premier Christian Radio. The trustees are looking to expand their areas of expertise and will continue to search for people of a similar calibre to Katei."
In response to her new role, Rev Kirby said, "Premier Christian Media Trust already draws on the experience of several Church and broadcasting industry professionals. I welcome this opportunity to contribute to the development of the Trust and the ministry it provides."
