Biography

Nick began his broadcasting career at BBC Radio Birmingham and ATV, but is best-known for his years on the TV-AM sofa with Anne Diamond. The pair defected to the BBC in 1992 and hosted the Good Morning programme for four years. Since that programme ended, Nick has hosted the television news for BBC Midlands.

In 2006, Nick Owen was awarded the Royal Television Society's Baird Medal for lifetime achievement.

Nick is not to be confused with former ITN and now BBC newsreader Nicholas Owen.

He appeared in two special editions of The Krypton Factor during the 1988 Seoul Olympics, 'Presenters versus Competitors', along with fellow-sports and quiz hosts, Dickie Davies, Alison Holloway and Elton Welsby. The presenters won!
