With an investment estimated to be over £1million from its new owner the Wireless Group, Belfast radio station U105 has moved from its home in UTV's Havelock House to new offices and studios in a lough-side development in the city.

A week after a nervous mid-day hand over from Frank Mitchell who presented the last programme in Havelock House to Carolyn Stewart in the new City Quays HQ, I sat down with station manager Peter McVerry and the first station manager John Rosborough – now a radio consultant.

Looking out over Belfast Lough, the Titanic Building and the Samson and Goliath cranes we talked about not just U105 but radio more generally

• how it has grown to here it is now,
• the role it plays in serving its audiences and
• the threats and opportunities for the future.

For more details on those radio listening figures, John Rosborough take a longer look on his blog at Nocturne Media.  

This is the podcast that still doesn't have a name. New episodes are available each Thursday.
