Yikes !

Chris Chambers from Juice FM Liverpool donned a Mankini to dance to a Whigfield song in the city's Central Train Station. All in the name of entertainment (?).
Wasn't he a little bit chilly ;-)

MJ Day.

At 6:30 pm today (Sunday July 5th), the following radio stations have agreed to take part in a trivute to the late Michel Jackson by playing on of his songs.
The idea being that, hopefully, wherever you are in the country at once 6:30 strikes, you will hear MJ on your radio.
Stations taking part include:
Q102 Dublin, FM104, Dublin's 98, i105107, LMFM and 4FM.
That's as of 10am and hopefully more stations will come on board as the day goes on.

Well done to the guys behind this idea...

Young Guns.

Former Atlantic 252 man Gary Wilkinson (Pizzaman/Mojo/Nick Jordan) posted these pics on his Facebook page and they are just brilliant.
So young, so innocent ;-)

Nein to DAB.

Just stumbled upon the fact that Germany and Switzerland have said 'No' to the idea of DAB in their countries. They're not willing to invest in switching over from FM/AM in the same way the UK has...apparently.
Now, I'm no DAB expert, but having a powerhouse like Germany and a financial stronghold like Switzerland supporting the technology be better than them not, wouldn't it?
Someone will fill me in, I hope, because there must be another side to this than I can see.

The post I came across is here:

**UPDATE**
Thanks to the two knowledgeable experts who got in touch to set me straight. Appreciate the info.

Shore 104 Launches.

Today is Canada Day ('O Canada')!
Good day to launch a brand new radio station- which is what is taking place with the opening of Triple A outlet 'Shore 104'.

Shore will be in direct competition with the (also new) 100.5 The Peak. They hit the air late last year with on air staff including former JRfm Drive man Chris Coburn filling the AM Drive shift.

The Shore on air line up is pretty impressive:
6-10am - Moose & Alex.
10-2pm - Steve Dunbar (former CFOX and Rock 101).
2-6pm - Bill and Jody (Bill the former CFOX and Rock 101 man and Jody Vance back from the TV).
6pm - M'nte - Dug Joy (Another former CFOX and LG73 man).
Weekends sees legendary musician and actor Jim Byrnes behind the mic.
