A MUSICIAN has stayed true to his Bradford roots as he starts co-presenting a weekday TV show in the USA.

David Nowakowski has become a co-host of daytime TV show Loving Living Local, show on the FOX21 channel in Colorado, broadcast every weekday between 9am and 10am.

The live lifestyle show is similar to ITV's This Morning in the UK with features on subjects including food.

Mr Nowakowski, 36, also known by his nickname Nova, has signed a three-year contract on the show.

He started his stint on the show on Monday, January 3 and even had a box of Yorkshire Tea on last week's introduction show to remind him of home.

 

Mr Nowakowski now lives in Denver, Colorado, and officially became a US citizen earlier this year.

He says the door is always open to him returning to music, including to Bradford band Scars on 45, where he is their keyboard player.

Speaking to the Telegraph & Argus last month ahead of his new TV presenting role, he said: "I'm really excited.

"This is a huge deal and massive opportunity for me putting Bradford on the map Stateside.

"I'm now a kid from Bradford co-presenting with a girl from Texas on American TV."
