  • 1051: Matt Deegan on Today prog on DAB
    Pieces about DAB on BBC Radio 4 are always a little challenging. Despite many their listeners being some of the earliest investors in DAB technology and the appreciable proportion of listening on that very platform, interrogation on the issue, whether on You & Yours or on the Today programme, is always a tad sniffy. Luckily, the reluctant hosts are usually outwitted by guests who know their stuff.
    Relish this piece with Mat Deegan from Folder Media on 21st July 2015.

  • 1049: Talk Radio Montage

    Having run a talk station, I can quite imagine what the presenter offices of the old Talk Radio UK must have been like. You hire the greatest talk talent ‘cos they are larger than life. They can debate, argue, generate heat as well as light and win any argument. Off-air they are much the same. Mix James Whale with a dose of Anna Raeburn, a smattering of Simon Bates, a right wing David Starkey and a know it all blunt lawyer like Gary Jacobs, what do you do when Jeremy Beadle walks in with Dale Winton? I know I am mixing the eras there, but I suspect any one of Talk Radio’s programmers would confirm that their particular gifted menagerie were quite a handful. Talk went through several eras, as it sought to identify a hole in the UK talk market which was not the BBC’s but also not an American shaped.

    Having launched in 1994, and produced some brilliant programming along the way, alongside some significant challenges, the station lasted for four years before turning into the clearly-defined and successful Talk Sport.

    This selection of promos, thanks to Drew White, illustrate the TRUK days.

  • 1048: Island FM launch - 1992

    For us mainlanders working in competitive markets, it is truly wonderful to arrive in a place where every radio is locked on to the same station. In every coffee shop, taxi and shop on lovely Guernsey, you hear Island FM. On visiting, the station's small staff - in its modest out of town location - remind you that you don't need hundreds of folk to make valued radio. They are proud of their station, and so they should be.

    Island FM launched on October 15th 1992, the great JAM jingles at the actual launch complemented by the official civic ceremony a little later.
