  • 1074: BBC Radio London regains its name
    Radio London was not amongst the first tranche of experimental BBC locals, not coming on air until 1970.
    The BBC local radio journey had been a complex one, not least in the Capital, where after the off-air trials in the early 60s, it was even felt that ‘borough stations’ rather than a London-wide one might be the right answer. That idea was to resurface again later in the station’s challenging life. Running a traditional local station in a big city was always to be hard work, as it proved too in Birmingham and Manchester. Maybe that’s one reason why the station has enjoyed so many different names, becoming variously Radio London, Radio London 206, GLR, LDN, London Live – and – in October 2015, as heard here, it returned to ‘Radio London’.

  • 1073: First Chris Moyles show on Radio X

    When a presenter rises to the top and stays there, it’s usually a combination of the talent, the station and a time and a place. When the talent moves to a new station, it’s often the case that the audience fails to follow to any significant degree. There are many examples where it has not, and a few where it has.
    Now, maybe times are changing. There is more flicking, loyalties to stations are lessening, and whilst radio penetration remains high, it’s simply easier now to explore and ever-growing range of stations. Social media too helps to keep the talent brand alive, and its audience informed of its new home.

    Chris Moyles left Radio 1 after ten years; and was a powerful influence in contemporary British radio, the likes of whom can be counted on a couple of hands. A few more will find their way onto that stage given a few more years and sufficient time at the right station.
    Enjoy here the first show from Chris after three years’ absence. It was a great performance. The feel of anarchy and freedom; the sort which has immaculate production/self-production at its heart.

  • 1072: What's next on Radio 4?

    If you wondered what Radio 4 continuity announcers do during the programmes, this gives a clue. (2nd Oct 2015 1630)

    I love the exasperated cluck too. Beautiful.

    Lest there be any offence, may I just say I think the cast of continuitors are all simply wonderful, and I would campaign naked down Carnaby Street if any future BBC regulator were to dare to suggest their removal.
