BBC radio presenter Dom Busby has died at the age of 53 after a short illness.
Busby worked at the BBC for more than 30 years across many local radio stations, and more recently BBC Sport and BBC Radio 5 Live.
Friends and colleagues on social media have praised his positive nature, generosity and kindness.
“Dom was a great broadcaster and a brilliant man. He loved sport and radio so had the perfect job,” said radio sports news editor Colin Patterson.
“You could hear the excitement in his voice when he was reading the sports news on air. He had a long and successful career at the BBC – 30 years at many of our local radio stations, and for the past 10 of those years he also worked for BBC Sport.
“He will be much missed by his colleagues and listeners to BBC radio. Our thoughts are with his family at this terrible time.”
BBC North West Tonight presenter Roger Johnson was also among those paying tribute.
