Despite my moaning about aspects of them, look at this written by the Brand Director of Absolute Radio. Look mum, I’m famous!

On that note, I have been impressed by the whole ‘openness’ of the One Golden Square blog thing and the way they’ve scouted around the more credible radio fora (such as Anorak Nation) and challenged what people are saying or explained what they are doing.
That has got to be a first in radio, and it is truly worth giving those Absolute folk a round of applause for. They didn’t have to do any of that.
If they persist with their openness and apparent honesty with regard to ‘involving’ listeners in decisions, then I can see them building a tight-knit cult following which can only go on to reflect very positively in their RAJAR.
As Simon Cowell would say (or did he get it from me?), Good for them!
