Radio
Ay-Em, Eff-Em, Dee-Ayy-Beee. It's radio and it's in the city. And probably in the rest of the country as well.
Radio and broadcasting is something I'm fascinated in although perhaps you might not realise that from the number of posts in this section...

If there’s one thing that seems to provoke irie from the BBC’s viewers and listeners, it’s doing anything about London on air. Well unless said viewer and listener is in London. Probably.
In car radio - digital or analogue, you’ll always get some reception problems

Over on the BBC News website is a little video of Zoe Kleinman driving down the road playing with incar DAB radios. As someone’s who has had DAB for years in his home and loves it to bits, I was interested to see what the car experience was like but I confess that I watched that yesterday and thought bloomin’ hell.

Kevin Greening

The news that former Radio 1 Kevin Greening has died in his sleep, aged 44, is news that fills me with sadness. I have been a big fan of his since hearing him on his early weekend shows on Radio 1 in the early 1990s.

There’s not exactly anything I can say about John Peel that hasn’t already been said umpteen million times by friends and other fans of his worldwide. But say a few things I will because the death of John Peel - well it’s like losing an old friend.

Mark Radcliffe is heading back to a familiar sounding timeslot, abliet on a different station. But what will feature in this show that sits in a timeslot often known as ‘The Graveyard Shift’?
The end of Mark and Lard as we know it
Posted on 23 February 2004 in Radio. (0 comments)
The news that Mark and Lard are to leave Radio 1 is sad, but not entirely unexpected. They’ve been the subjects of the internet rumour mill for several months no doubt surred on by their own on-air comments. It’s been as obvious as the fact that a carry on follows a stop.

Well I did have a whole piece written about Mark and Lard splitting - I did it in my lunch hour today - but it seems to have gone walkies and not made it home.
