Despite telling reporters before the Brits that he wasn't looking a permanent radio or TV presenting job, Chris Evans is reportedly in talks for a new permanent radio presenting job. Oh yes, and for a new TV presenting job too.
The radio project is particularly interested. According to the Guardian all the major players in UK radio are considering launching a high profile new entertainment show that they will all carry on their local stations. The plan, which will need OfCom approval because it will reduce the amount of local programming participating stations produce, is part of the commercial sector's attempts to take on the BBC who, through the mighty appeal of the likes of Jonathan Ross and Terry Wogan, are in many ways all the commercial company's biggest rival. Evans is the top presenter choice of the people behind the project since his critically acclaimed stint hosting the Radio Aid event earlier this year. The new show would most likely run for three hours and go out on a weekend afternoon.
On the TV front Evans is reportedly in talks with Channel 4 about new programming ideas.
