Which stations have you had a mention on?

reverse_diode · 23/04/13 - 03:49

Stations that have given you a shout-out or request/dedication. For me:

Radio 2 - requests twice on breakfast whilst JW was covering

Radio Wales - shout out on Adam Walton evening show

Radio Trent/Leicester Sound - spoke to John Shaw on air on Talkback prog

Manx Radio - request on Saturday rock prog

I'm sure many of you will have a lot more interesting ones:)

JELLIES0 · 23/04/13 - 13:12

Caroline North - Daffy Don Allen played Judy In Disguise by John Fred

RNI - Daffy Don read out my competition entry on the Country Jamboree

Piccadilly Radio - Phil Wood said I had a long piece of string on my cocoa tin ( I was hearing the signal in Mid Wales)

Beacon Radio - Mike Baker (I think) competition. I was the only one to identify the track Pickin' Up The Pieces by Poco and won a double LP - California Gold with Mamas & Papas,
Steppenwolf etc

WWCR short wave station - had a mention on their country music service World Wide Country Radio. They now seem to have dropped this in favour of 100% religious programming.

Atlantic 252 - the Sea Wolf read out some of my jokes e.g. "How do you tell if your girlfriend is ticklish ? - Give her a test tickle"

BBC Radio Four - Eddie Mair didn't actually read out my real name. When Jeremy Clarkson raised the wrath of the Mexicans over his stereotyping. Eddie Mair asked whether "national stereotypes are funny". I e-maile "If national stereotypes are funny then I'm a Dutchman - signed Hertz Van Rental"

Manx Radio - competition entry on Chris Wiiliams' Carnaby Street programme.

and that's all folks (I think)

scooby1970 · 23/04/13 - 13:15

96.4FM The Wave - multiple Numerous requests, couple of competitions.
Big L - around 20 times plus been on air numerous times.
Nation - 3 times

And I'm sure there's more but can't think right now.
