  1. From the video, it's still transmitting Talk Sport.

  2. It never dries. We had to use it on our garage to stop kids climbing on the roof.

  3. Depends on the site. Everything from "a little bit" to "shed loads".

  4. Unfortunately, "independent" is now becoming national, with stations like Greatest Hits Radio and Heart taking over a lot of local stations to just become a homogenous blandness across the whole country. As for the other point, if "something" happened, they'd all want to get the work out as soon as possible. That's the way news works.

  6. Or is it an enigma, wrapped in a riddle? I like sausages wrapped in bacon.

  7. "They're a bit". I don't normally post corrections but it seems a little like the pot calling the kettle black there! No, I'm not from Wallasey.

  8. Yes, it infected Radio 1 for a couple of decades - in the early days they wanted to make it sound "cool" like the "pop" radio stations in the USA, so DJs would put on fake American twangs, and even a couple of North American DJs were hired such as Paul Gambaccini. The announcer is apparently someone called John Wells.

  9. Not sure if my comment was removed. Yes, it was very common from the early days of Radio 1 as they wanted to imitate the "cool" sounding pop stations from the US. They had DJ's put on a fake American twang, and they hired American DJs such as Paul Gambaccini. The announcer is apparently someone called John Wells.

  11. That's quite possible, but they do lightning protection using a spark gap for these "live" towers. If the charge builds up sufficiently, it'll spark across the gap.

  12. I think people who are interested in hearing people talk about sport. Not us radio geeks, obviously.
