RAW, long in the tooth

Lance Rothschild gives his take here on MarketingWeb
He says:  “Of late though, I am getting bored with the station. I believe that it has become jaded and bland across the [...]

Kevin Fine on Highveld

Sunday song lyrics time

Artist and song title for the following lyrics?
I’m so tired of being here

YFM statement on Chilli M

For more than three weeks, Yfm has been hounded by the print media, particularly the Sunday press, over Chilli M and the Essential Rush.The questions were firstly, why has Chilli been suspended; secondly, why has he been fired; and many other allegations which are too defamatory to repeat. Now, the latest is: “we understand that [...]

Sexist post but anyway

Ok its a bit of a sexist post but seeing as we’re talking radio I thought I would chuck out the question - “Who is the hottest female DJ on radio at the moment?”….
 Koula, Kate Kearney, Nicole Fox and (I think) Cindy Grotta have all done the FHM thing with great success.
Erica Elle at 5FM [...]
