Will Batchelor

Will Batchelor is a British radio personality, jornalist and columnist. He regularly makes contributions to the Liverpool Daily Post, as well as the Liverpool Echo, icLiverpool website and the North Wales Daily Post .
He is best known for his radio chat show on Friday and Saturday nights which are relayed throughout the radio stations BRMB, Mercia, Beacon and Wyvern, they are all stationed in the Midlands, his show airs from 10PM and ends at 1AM. The show alternates from "The Sanctuary" which is on Sunday to Thursday, hosted by Caroline Martin, which runs at the same times. Will also does occasional one-off stand ins for other local radio DJs, including Caroline Martin.
Both radio personalities follow a similar format in their programmes. The subjects are chosen before the programme starts and discussions are held on them. Caroline usually covers one subject a night and Will normally does two or three. They are the only shows on these stations that do not feature full length music.
During the last half hour of his show, Will normally holds an event called "The Friday Night Face Off" or "The Saturday Night Slamdown", depending on the day of the week. Both are the same in nature, two things are mentioned and listeners have to vote for the one they like best. Unlike the rest of the show they can not 'phone in. It has to be done by Facebook or SMS. The things mentioned are usually things which have a name sounds in common, such as The White Cliffs of Dover and Cliff Richard, Cher Lloyd and Shares in Lloyds, Joe McElderry or Elderberries. Sometimes they are things which are just opposites like Zippy and George from Rainbow as a tribute to Roy Skelton who had very recently passed away at the time.
Will describes himself as a "Facebook-slut" because he accepts anyone who invites him to be a friend. He has often said that he would like to end up with more friends than Michael Jackson.
Will is married and has two children.
