[London Lite]

Regional accents can work well in broadcasting, but I think they have to have some form of elocution lessons which allow the broadcaster to keep their accent, but uses standard English which can be clearly understood.

Steph McGovern had lessons to make sure her pronunciation was clear, but still has a distinctive Teesside accent.

I must admit that despite living in London, MLE is one of the harder accents to understand. Like other regional accents, they use slang terms I don't understand, but that CA I understood word for word even if he doesn't use RP. MLE people I've spoken to consider me "posh", yet I have what is considered to be an Estuary accent.
