Presenters

Rob Smith

Rob Smith is a very familiar face, and voice, in the South East – he’s been working as a journalist and broadcaster here since 1994.

Rob presents South East Today bulletins, and is also a video journalist. This means there are some days when he not only presents the news, but he has also filmed and edited a story into the bargain!

For many years Rob also presented for BBC Radio Kent, back in the days when Barbara Sturgeon and Colin Johnson were household names across the county. John Warnett of course is still hanging about.

When he’s not working for the Beeb, Rob can be found on the hockey pitch – he’s captain of Gillingham Anchorians 3rd XI! In the summer, you’re most likely to find him on his boat, a 32ft yacht called Wild Rover. This summer Rob is planning to sail round Britain to raise money for Leukemia Research – you can find out more about Rob’s challenge by clicking on the link on the right.

Rob is happily married to Gemma, and they have two beautiful children, Charlie and Grace.
