About this listen
In this episode, Dermot Murnaghan talks to broadcaster Nick Owen about a career that began in local newspapers and led to national fame—culminating in his role at the heart of breakfast television during the 1980s.
Nick shares how he helped rescue a failing TV-am, the unexpected promotion that made him front-page news, and what he learned working alongside Anne Diamond.
He also speaks openly about his prostate cancer diagnosis, the surgery that followed, and why he’s now backing calls for a national screening programme.
Nick also reveals:
- Why he nearly turned down TV-am—until a hotel TV in Sydney changed his mind
- How Greg Dyke and Anne Diamond helped turn the show around
- Why he's urging men to get tested and pushing for a national campaign
A story of a life in news and sport—and a fight to help save men’s lives.
