Eamon Holmes opens his heart about the terrible curse of being a white man
Eamonn Holmes has expressed his frustration about his treatment in the media landscape as a “white man in his sixties” in a new interview.
The broadcaster, who is an anchor on the GB News weekday morning programme Breakfast with Eamonn and Isabel, reflected on moments of his career in an episode of the podcast How to Be 60 with Kaye Adams.
Speaking about his 2009 exit from his Radio 5 programme, the 63-year-old claimed that while his listenership ratings were “excellent”, an executive told him that the show was “attracting the wrong type of people”, and that they were pursuing a younger audience.
“You’re attracting older people, and we don’t want that,” the north Belfast presenter claims he was told during a meeting with a production boss. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-ente ... 84995.html
