RIP James Whale, pioneer of the late night phone-in during those groundbreaking early days of Independent Local Radio on Metro Radio, later Aire/Red Rose. Challenging, lively, confrontational but delivered with friendly authority. A great radio voice you just couldn’t switch off.

Major shock at the Guernsey General Election. 12 deputies lose their seats, with 20 newcomers on the 38-strong administration. A record 11 women elected, up three. A busy day for the excellent @BBCGuernsey⁩ team with me in a supporting role. From 1500 on ⁦@BBCSounds⁩.

This is heartbreaking. John was a pioneer on ILR, just short of 50 years since his warm, friendly, authoritative voice opened Radio Trent on July 3, 1975, having learnt his craft at UBN. His Vintage Chart show on Boom Radio was a great accompaniment to the Sunday roast. RIP John.

30 years ago today we lost our most creative broadcaster. Kenny Everett was just 50 when he died on April 4, 1995. BBC 4 pays tribute tomorrow night. Join me for a look-back at the genius of the wireless wizard on one of his former stations ⁦@BBCSussex (ex-Brighton)⁩at 1040

51 years ago today on October 8,1973, licensed commercial radio began in the UK with the launch of LBC + its national news service IRN, ending the BBC’s radio monopoly. After 20 years in ILR + 30 at the Beeb I was proud to have a hand in the writing of this for the Golden Jubilee

#OnThisDay in 1964, #ManxRadio - the first legal commercial station in Britain - began to broadcast! Behind the creation of 'Radio Manx' were years of discussions and negotiations between the #IsleOfMan and the UK. Files in our archive help to tell this fascinating story. 🇮🇲📻

The funniest of men, the saddest of men. The great comedy actor Tony Hancock was #botd 100 years ago. A troubled genius who left a huge legacy of laughter after his early death from suicide at just 44. Here, in between scenes on The Punch & Judy Man at @ElstreeStudios in 1962

RIP Wally Scott. For decades he was Billy Butler’s radio producer + co-host making Merseyside laugh. He and Elton Welsby also gave me my first radio break covering non-league footy 50 years ago in October 1974 in the opening week of Radio City where was Sports Editor. Thanks, Wal

Happy 60th birthday to Radio Caroline, the UK’s 1st offshore radio station. March 28, 1964 was the start of a broadcast revolution. The pirates were outlawed in 1967, but the BBC swiftly introduced Radio 1,with licensed commercial radio following in 1973. ⁦@TheRadCaroline⁩
