THE CHANGING TIMES AT UK RADIO

Towards the end of the book I refer to how much things have changed, especially the means of sourcing music these days - streaming etc. However, it is interesting that generally radio audience ratings are still very high and healthy. The BBC are being scrutinised with the age old argument of why the public should be paying a licence fee and there should be other ways to fund the networks. Meanwhile, Radio 2 have lost some of it's greatest presenters - it started a few years back when Alex Lester & Janice Long were let go - mistake! More recently it has been Vanessa Feltz, Paul O'Grady, Graham Norton, Steve Wright and now the irreplaceable Ken Bruce. Watch this space as to how well the station continues. In the meantime, I have started on Volume 2 which starts in the present day, focusing on all things tech/social media (especially TikTok) and working back through the decades giving me the opportunity to write about those fabulous artists and personalities that are missing from my current publication.
