Career
Liz Green hosted a lunchtime radio programme for BBC Radio Leeds that included a feature known as The Hot Seat, a weekly hour-long interview on Fridays at 12pm. Her radio work also featured an interview segment called Up Close, which was a one-on-one interview with a member of the public from the region with an interesting life story. Notable interviewees on Liz Green's show include the Dalai Lama, David Cameron and Nick Clegg.[citation needed] Green won the BBC's Local or Regional Broadcaster of the Year (Gold) in 1994.[4]
Prior to hosting weekday lunchtimes, Liz presented Breakfast on BBC Radio Leeds for five years. The show won Bronze at the Audio and Radio Industry Awards in 2017. The same year, she was criticised by Barry Sheerman after she spoke of crime levels in Huddersfield.[2]
In 2022, Green was negotiating with the BBC to leave their employment.[5] Earlier the same year, former BBC employee Alex Belfield was imprisoned for harassing Green and others.[6] Green, Stephanie Hirst, and two others who were targeted by Belfield have called for an investigation into the BBC's handling of workplace harassment.[7]
