***NEW SHOWREEL ONLINE IN SHOWFOLIO***

Mark Ryes is an experienced presenter and voice-over artist.

Mark's currently presenting for leading retail channels Bid TV & Price Drop TV. He's the voice of Associated Press's weekly showbiz programme "Entertainment Now!", and he's still doing TV continuity too, as the only male announcer at Challenge for BSkyB, and also BFBS TV. Over the last few years he's also been a presenter for Thomas Cook TV, half hour interview shows online for studiotalk.tv and he was also one of the launch presenters for Radio Music Shop from Somethin' Else.

Mark's also dabbled in quiz shows too presenting Play DJ on ITV Play, and fun roulette games for Avago. This is an area he'd like to concentrate on more... and having worked for both Challenge and Bid TV for some years now, his knowledge of gameshows and his thousands of hours of live TV experience should stand him in good stead!

In 2000 and 2001 Mark presented for TV Jobshop. He hosted careers based programmes as well as reporting on media and business issues. Mark was also Director of Programmes for the channel, with responsibilities including managing the production team, controlling presentation house-style, budgets and editorial policy.
