Born in Northampton, Mark Dean has always been involved in the media. Mark trained in radio production at Northampton College and began his media journey from 1992.

This station Broadcasts from studios in Sheep Street Northampton playing R&B, Reggae, Gospel, Rap, Jazz, Dance, Asian, African, Greek and Irish Folk music.
Mark wanted to make a station by the people for the people and Inspiration FM has been going strong since 1996 to this day.
In 2000 Mark was approached by 91Èȱ¬ Radio Northampton's Editor and about presenting a programme to reach all sectors of the community and the show Inspirations was formed. With Marks strong links within the community the Inspirations Show has been going strong covering hard hitting local and international news, and guest stars like Beyonce.
