Anyone know which original 60's pirate jocks are still on air on a daily basis on UK radio?

Some do odd evenings and weekends, but who is doing a daily show?

    Indeed he does - I think he may be the only one who survives on a daily show.

    Caroline newsreader Nick Bailey is still with Classic FM on weekday overnights.

    Paul Hollingdale who worked on CNBC in 1962 has a daily weekday show on Vienna International Radio.

    "Twiggy" Day is the only ex 60's pirate dj working Mon to Fri and on Sunday that I know of, as someone already said.

    But Sunday is definitely 'pirate' day. Tony Blackburn on BBC London 12 noon - 3pm. Johnnie Walker on Radio 2, 3 - 5pm. Dave Cash BBC Radio Kent 5 - 7pm. Roger Day BBC stations across the south 7 - 9pm. Keith Skues BBC Eastern counties 10pm - 1am.

    About time Tone was knighted. He well deserves it, in fact, he should have been awarded years ago.

    I think you have to be maximum 2 years away from death to be knighted! :D
