According to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Cassiday Proctor started experiencing labour pains on Monday when her station decided to make arrangements with the hospital to have her Caesarean section birth broadcasted.

Cassiday who is a weekday morning presenter on The Arch station in the city of St Louis in the United States said that it was a spur-of-the-moment broadcast opportunity as the baby came two weeks early.

“It was amazing to be able to share the most exciting day of my life with our radio listeners,” said Cassiday.

She also said that giving birth on air was an extension of what she does every day on her radio show as she shares all aspects of her life with the listeners.

The child, who weighed 3.2kgs, was named Jameson after listeners selected the baby’s name in a competition in January, 2018.
