Key 103..

They all go the same way I presume - when I lived down south there was 2CR FM - a sort of Partridge -esque homely station for Hants and Dorset - played decent music and almost all the ads were for local businesses - go back down there from time to time and after numerous changes - 2 Counties- now part of the Heart empire I think and its the usual local DJ prattling on sounding like he thinks he has an audience of millions telling you how he bought a bicycle pump or something over the weekend and a load of ads for chain outlets - DIY, coffee shops, pizza and so on and occasionally quite begrudgingly it seems they pop some music on. Its the only kind of place where you can hear Tome Jones followed by Ed Sheeran or Twisted Sister and Stormzy back to back. All these local ones have just become a generic pile of crap.

Jo Blakeway?

I'm pretty certain she left Key 103 and went to live in South Africa as her fella got a job over there.

Stopped listening years ago, couldn't stomach Toolan anymore, proper arrogant, full of himself piece of shit. And a rag as well.

Quote of the day

No oil painting from that previous thread....then again I've also got a radio face.

Beccy Want was nice however.

Beccy Want or was that James H Reeves(want,s or Got)allegedly.

That's a really imaginative name for a radio station. Full credit to the marketing guys.

Cost thousands i believe,

Is the correct answer. Growing up in Manchester in the 70s, was there a house in the city that didn't have one of those stickers in a bedroom window? Penk, Day, Mathis, Davies, Peebles, the legend that was James Stannage, "curly Shirley", the rag Sweeney, "it's a goal"; those were the days.

Who knows if James got in there but personally I doubt it.
Soon after starting at the station Becky fell into the clutches of Brian Beech who was the Programme Controller (IIRC) at the time so it would be very risky to have a crack at Bex.
