It's Been Fun.

Well, I'm outta here !
Updating and maintaining this blog has been fun, but due to time pressures, I find that I'm not able to devote enough effort into the heart of the thing - so for the time being, I have to say Adios to blogging.
Thanks for reading it and thanks for the positive comments.
The whole idea behind this blog was to highlight the good in radio and purposely avoid the negative. I hope it managed to do that.
If you still want to read some of my stuff then you can subscribe to the weekly Ezine or hook up on Twitter. If not...hopefully I'll see you around.
Thanks again.

Cheers,
B.

Saw this liked it...passing it on.
Billboard for KissFM Boise, idaho.

UK Radio Player.


What are the odds that this will be avaialable in Ireland?
A website that offers all UK stations will be running by Christmas and should be available to listen to by the middle of next year.
There are a couple of decent articles explaining it:

and here:

The Mirror has a write-up about the fact that it could go mobile as well:

Glasgow.

Robin Banks and Ali Mak from Virgin Radio in Dubai after our Workshop in Glasgow.

Glasgow.

Thanks to everyone for coming along to our Workshop in Glasgow on Saturday. It was a great day.
I arrived at the venue pretty early and was sitting by a window having a coffee and catching my breath when - Bam Bam Bam!! There's Robin Banks banging on the window at me with his big wide smile and infectious enthusiasm! So the day began and so it continued.
There were people there from all over Scotland, from London, Ireland and Dubai. All levels represented too, from rookie to 30 year radio vererans.
There were dis-agreements and debates but most of all lots of laughing and lots of fun.
Oh and sambos too.
There's more about it in this week's Ezine...just email me if you would like a copy sent to you.
So this note today is to acknowledge everyone we have met in the past 12 months across Ireland and the UK and to say 'thanks'. Been a hell of a year and I've enjoyed every bit of it.
This radio lark could catch on y'know ?!

Speaking of Christmas...

It's not always a good thing for you if you work on a station in North America and the format flips to Christmas music. I'm just saying.
This one has just been spotted and is the first one I've come across this year:
WNTR Indianapolis is now 107.9 The ChristItalicmas Station.
