David Burns (born 26 April 1959 in Glasgow, Scotland) is a British radio presenter working for the BBC. He is best known for his sports commentary, analysis and discussion on BBC Radio Humberside.[1]

Biography

He is currently the presenter of the mid-morning programme at BBC Radio Humberside.[2] He occasionally commentates on Hull City games, where he is often known as Burnsy.

His co-presenters on air are Gwilym Lloyd, Matt Dean and Mike White. He is also regularly joined by former Hull City, Scunthorpe United and Grimsby Town players - notably Peter Swan and George Kerr.[3] In May 2011, the sports team of David Burns, John Tondeur, Matt Dean, Mike White and John Anguish won a Sony bronze award in the best sports programme category for their coverage of Grimsby Town's relegation.

In mid 2011, he moved to a non-sport daytime programme, discussing the day's news and playing music between 0900 and 1200 daily. He continues to present commentary on Hull City, but is no longer active on Sports Talk during weekday evenings.
