She is also a published author. Since commencing her media career in 1997 for the BBC, Ali-Khan has worked in various areas of broadcasting. Upon moving from the BBC to the ITV network in 2005, she has become a popular recognised face at ITV Central, as one of the main presenters for the ITV News Central programmes. Ali-Khan has won numerous awards during her broadcasting career, including three RTS Midlands Best Screen Personality Awards in 2010, 2014 and 2015, for her work on ITV News Central. Life and careerEarly life and educationAli-Khan was born in Manchester, England, but initially raised in Nigeria, Africa, as a young girl, where her father was a professor at one of the country's universities.[1] The family moved regularly around the world, Ali-Khan living in many places such as Hong Kong. She travelled extensively due to the occupations of her father, and this gave her a desire to learn and an interest in journalism.[2] On her return to England, Ali-Khan studied for a degree in physiology and chemistry at the University of Salford, Manchester. Whilst studying, Ali-Khan launched her initial broadcasting career with a commercial radio station Sunset 102 in 1989. Ali-Khan completed her degree and followed up with a Masters in Art, specialising in TV features and documentary production, again from the University of Salford, Manchester.[2] Broadcasting career1997–2000: BBC Radio LancashireAfter the completion of her Masters degree, Ali-Khan began her broadcasting career with the BBC working on both Asian and mainstream programmes at BBC Radio Lancashire.[2] 2000–2005: Drive on the BBC Asian Network and Radio 5 LiveAli-Khan relocated to Birmingham in 2000 and began hosting Drive on the BBC Asian Network and Radio 5 Live stations.[3] Ali-Khan confesses that it was more by default than design that she ended up on a news programme like the Asian Network's Drive, I'm a failed medic! she said. I did a science degree, but didn't really like it, just mixing chemicals in a lab. As a break, I ended up going to a radio station on Wednesdays, which was my half-day off, and I just got a feel for radio then. I was answering phones but within about six months they allowed me to go on air and it all started from there.[3] It was while she was working on both the Asian and mainstream programmes at BBC Radio Lancashire that she heard that the Asian Network would be taking over the Asian programming there. I ended up applying for the job at the Asian Network in Birmingham as a Senior Broadcast Journalist. With no experience at all she got the job. Khan said "It was a turning point in my life". For the first few months she was just in a management role, then she job-shared that, as well as doing Drive, finally she went into presentation full time, which has always been her first love.[3] 2005–present day: ITV Central and ITV Weekend NewsAfter working at the BBC for 5 years, Ali-Khan made the move from radio to television and joined ITV Central in 2005.
