The thing putting BBC Local Radio recruiting Sarah Kennedy is her refusal to play all the stations jingles. At BBC Radio 2 she only managed to play the news and traffic jingles.
When she started on Early Breakfast or Dawn Patrol in the 1990's when Terry Wogan rejoined BBC Radio 2 was she given her own personal jingle played it a few times then thought I cannot be bothered playing this.
I remember the many times Alex Lester used to do his own show and then cover her show because she was sick. On one occasion he came out of the 06.00 news played his jingle and then said oh a jingle played after the news Sarah must not be here.
