I don’t suppose anybody here is still following the Man in the Morning’s blog http://breakfastdj.blogspot.com/ are they?
Now, this surely must be building up to being published properly. It needs a bit of subbing but there’s more than enough words there for it to be a huge book and a monster read already! Yet, every day out spurts yet another episode.
With Global now owning almost everything, ultimately we will have quasi-national (or regional) networks where once we had individual self-contained radio stations. (Remember when ITV1 was a collection of regional TV stations?) This means that in truth we will slowly start to have less radio in the UK. The only people that’ll be
welcomed onto this tier of networked radio will be people with TV careers, already in the public eye. The radio man (or woman) won’t exist except in a few of the old folk who are still on the air, and have only ever done radio. Once they’re all dead, there’ll be no new radio-only stars.
Anyway, the Man in the Morning’s daily blog is charting the slow death of a bland radio station as it slips away down the route I’ve just discussed. Brilliant read. I wanna start a Zak de Luxe fan club.
