Hearing Hey There Delilah just now makes me think instantly of my wonderful time at Virgin Radio. It’s weird how one song will always remind you of working at a particular station. Which is yours?

So sad to hear this news. The Channel has made a real contribution to the City. It has many achievements it can be proud of - and many, many careers it’s been part of.
Notts TV will stop broadcasting on Friday, August 29 2025. The planned closure has been brought forward from November following the departures of several key staff members to pursue new opportunities. Full story: https://t.co/qa6xmfBfuc

Just found an old C60 from my teenage years. Appears I went to pains to tape the records but chopped off jingles and presenter links. Must have been an odd phase.

What a night. 100+ folk gathered to mark 50 years since the birth of Radio Trent in Nottingham - and the mark it left on our lives.

Now, tomorrow is Thursday 3rd July. I wonder whose voice might fittingly introduce the day's programmes briefly @boomradiouk just before 6am, with a nod to 50 years ago. #hinttothewise #nottingham

Thanks to all LDRS post-holders past and present. Your journalism has served Nottingham well.
💙 Today was our last day at @Notts_TV 💙 Notts TV, and the wonderful humans behind it, are a credit to the world of journalism. It fostered an environment of growth, individuality & family that allowed the LDRS to flourish. It'll forever hold a place in my heart. #LDReporter

Radio Trent began 50 years ago in July. We're helping to plan a big party! If you worked in Notts commercial radio since then, drop me a DM to sort invites.
