Broadcaster and television journalist Dan Walker has been named chair of the board for Sheffield Theatres.
The 5 News host was named chair with immediate effect on Friday replacing businesswoman Dame Julie Kenny, who died earlier this year.
He said it was a "real honour to be asked to be part of something that I know is so loved and respected in Sheffield".
He added: "My family always enjoy going to the theatre and we are really proud of the rich heritage and performance quality that Sheffield is known for."
