Wide-reaching changes to the industry as a result of deregulation, making everything else seem trivial.
Chris Moyles and Vernon Kay to leave Radio X, with Johnny Vaughan moving to breakfast. Major schedule changes at TalkRadio, with Sun/Times/Sky personalities getting shows. |

Neil Fox .... no. Brian Matthews will retire from SOTS on Radio 2 with Tony Blackburn replacing him And Len Goodman taking the Friday 7pm slot. Dave Berry to step down from Capital London Breakfast to be replaced by Roman Kemp. Vanessa Feltz dropped from Radio 2 with exception of covering for Jeremy Vine. Fearne Cotton to replace her. |

Celador scrap Sam Fm in Bristol and Swindon and replace it with a top 40 station.
The BBC merge radio 1 and 1Xtra and create a station for the more mature listener as Gold refuses to go national. Radio 5 rebrands as BBC news 24 (along with the BBC news channel) to make further savings. 5live sports extra becomes the new home of sport. BBC Local Radio merge in to eg BBC radio West and only have County opt outs at Breakfast and drive. |
