RIP to one of the worldโ€™s Greatest songwriters!

Without Neil Sedaka, there would be no "Breaking is up is Hard to Do", or "Oh Carol". He also co-wrote "Ring Ring" for ABBA!

Iโ€™ve noticed these songs are often the popular choices to launch radio stations

๐ŸŽต Music - John Miles
๐ŸŽต Weโ€™ve Only Just Begun - The Carpenters
๐ŸŽต A Star is Born - Barbara Streisand

What other song have also launched radio stations?๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ“ป

If you love #RadioJingles - then tomorrows Guest has a wealth of knowledge about them. So Much so, in his first radio station he asked the station manager if he could go out to Dallas to visit this Mothership!!๐Ÿ“ป๐ŸŽถ

But who could the Guest be? Who do you think? Find out tomorrow!

Radio is the best medium of communication! Itโ€™s personal, itโ€™s creative and most importantly itโ€™s your friend!๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ“ป

Since I got involved in 2013, anything that involves the radio has always been the best thing to get involved in!

Happy #worldradioday2026!๐Ÿ“ป๐Ÿ˜Š

Remembering my all time radio hero, Terry Wogan on the tenth anniversary since he left us.

Terry was the architect of making radio so personal and wonderful, he made your mornings feel special. Without Terry I think a lot of people wouldnโ€™t choose radio as a career.๐Ÿ“ป

Thank you for being a friend!๐Ÿ˜”

Very sad to hear that Nigel Ogden has passed away.

He hosted the brilliant show The Organist Entertains for 38 Years on Radio 2. They were such wonderful programmes and he was such a natural and professional presenter.๐Ÿ“ป

I had a very nice correspondence from him only in November. RIP Nigel
