  • 1087: Chris Tarrant on BBC WM's 45th anniversary
    A rare example of someone who works well on both TV and radio, Chris Tarrant stayed at the top of his game in London for generations, and helped to shape the success of the Capital business for a considerable time. He was arguably a listener’s broadcaster as opposed to an anorak’s favourite, evidence of which is the lack of much enthusiastically-stored archive material.
    The Midlands was close to his heart, from his Tiswas days – and from his time as a teacher before radio beckoned. Enjoy here some great reminiscences of his life in a return to his old stomping ground as he hosted a 45th anniversary programme on BBC WM

  • 1086: Chris Moyles in old Bristol studios

    Ofcom’s ‘Approved areas’, seemingly assembled randomly one wine-fuelled night, meant that stations were able to vacate expensive premises and choose to co-habit. That left old sets of studios either to be attacked by sledgehammers wielded by property developers, or preserved lest they ever be needed again in times of crisis.

    The latter was the case for GWR’s network centre, which was fortunate when, one day in November 2015, Chris Moyles sought to broadcast from Bristol. Enjoy here the early moments of that show as he picked up the mic in the Marie Celeste.

  • 1085: Johnnie Walker on BBC WM's 45th anniversary

    Johnnie Walker grabbed his early breaths in Birmingham and it was there too that he went on to spin his first discs and develop his love of music. He was less fortunate as he went on to miss out on a local DJ contest, with some random called Les Ross faring rather better. It didn’t seem to hold Johnnie back.

    As the BBC celebrated 45 years of broadcasting in Birmingham via BBC WM and its predecessor BBC Radio Birmingham, it invited Johnnie and a series of local legends to host shows. Relish this three hour telescoped programme as Johnnie relates his own stories of his life, radio and music. It also just happens to be immaculate broadcasting and perfect storytelling.
