It's sandwiched neatly between the World at One and The Archers, but i'm sure with better storylines and ...

  • Tarrant, GMG and Nissan

    At the Radio Festival it was hard not to see the glee the GMG Johns felt about having signed Chris Tarrant to present a new Saturday morning show across its Real/Century and Smooth networks.

  • Last.FM Launch Free Music Streaming

    Interesting to hear that Last.fm has just announced that it's streaming full tracks, on-demand, for free. It means that any last.fm visitor will be able to stream a track on its system (and it seems to have all the majors signed) up to three times.
