Broadcast v Streaming
On an episode of Richard Osman’s House of Games that aired at the start of this week, there was a question in the Distinctly Average round that made me sit up. The celebrity contestants are paired up and each must answer a numerical question that is usually based around making an estimation. They’re not expected…

Les Evenson – Virgin Radio
TL;DR If you got this article via Google because you’ve been offered rock memorabilia supposedly signed by a former Virgin Radio employee, then if it’s the person I’ve written about here, it’s probably FAKE. In the last couple of months, I’ve had two separate emails to my blog asking me about: L EvensLes Evenson In…

Pete Mitchell
It was with great sadness that we learned earlier last month that the radio presenter Pete Mitchell had died at just 61. Pete was a fantastic radio DJ, and an absolutely lovely person. I’m publishing this just before 11am on April 3rd, when Pete’s funeral will be taking place. Unfortunately, due to current circumstances only…

Times Radio?
Update 28 January: This is now confirmed as happening, so I’ve added an addendum below. It’s interesting to read the reports suggesting that News Corp is about to launch what has been described as “a new radio station designed to threaten Radio 4” or “a rival to Radio 4” this spring. According to the Telegraph…

Space for Audio: The Internet and Streaming Radio
Yesterday I was a speaker at this year’s Radio TechCon conference, and took part in a “debate” about the future of broadcast radio. If there had to be one platform for radio in the future, which would it be? DAB+, broadband or 5G? Obviously this is not a true representation of the options. Nobody is…

Video Cameras in Radio Studios
[Note: Since this piece has created quite a lot of interest, it’s worth noting that I’ve only really considered UK national stations and brands here. I know that there are lots of stations in Europe, the US and beyond, from Q Music and RTL Radiovisione, that essentially produce something that’s half music radio station and…

Where Next for ILR?
When LBC launched in 1973, it was the first Independent Local Radio (ILR) station in the UK. Capital Radio was the second station, launching just a eight days after LBC. In due course, there would be more than 200 such stations across the country. Today, we must wonder whether we are beginning to see the…
