A Brighton broadcaster has been named by a national newspaper as one of the most influential Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender (LGBT) people in the UK.
Kathy Caton, producer and presenter of RadioReverb’s Out in Brighton appeared in the Independent on Sunday as one of its 101 most influential people in its annual Pink List, announced on 13.10.13.
Out in Brighton is the only LGBT radio show on the city’s airwaves, featuring a range of subjects from theatre to health.
Out in Brighton is a globally influential LGBT show with listeners in Taiwan, Brazil and beyond, featuring in-depth interviews and musicians such as the Chalkwell Ladies Drum ‘n’ Bass League. She helps run the LGBT staff network BBC Pride and the cross-industry InterMedia network.
Kathy, said:
“I’m absolutely delighted to be named on the Pink List with such an amazing collection of people. I’ve loved being able to use Out In Brighton to get LGBT voices and stories on air that you don’t get to hear on mainstream media – I’ve met amazing activists, community workers, artists and musicians through doing the show – it’s a privilege to help get those voices heard.”
Melita Dennett, Director of RadioReverb, said:
“I am pleased that Kathy has been acknowledged for her work in giving a voice to people marginalised by mainstream media, She’s developed an engaging show which deals sensitively and intelligently with subjects like living with HIV, LGBT arts and culture and stories from Trans people told in their own words.”
Paris Lees, Channel 4 and Radio 1’s first trans woman presenter topped the list with TV and radio presenter Clare Balding and Human Rights Campaigner Peter Tatchell shared joint second place.
