If you were asked to design a perfect voice for radio, where would you go for inspiration? Chris Evans, Simon Bates, Mark Goodier, James Whale, Nick Ferrari? Perhaps Victoria Derbyshire, Fern Cotton or Terry Wogan?

I wonder about the British Public sometimes. I worry about journalism a lot more. This week, we have witnessed some quite remarkable scenes at Leveson. We have heard breathtaking accounts of life in Government, how you should never put anything into an email or suggest people chat on their mobile phone. We are talking about corruption at the very top and the heads of a few might roll. When does this stop?

It was a sad day yesterday when I learned that a station I once had a small involvement in has finally been put out of its misery. Yet, Channel M in Manchester was a great idea. In fact, it was an idea ahead of it’s time.

Over the past couple of years, I have learned that in order to get my kids to school happy, I have to put on their station (not mine) but from 8.40am the dial is all mine again. Armed with this sort of information, who would be a PD?

This morning, one station PD rang to ask if I had any ideas. I told him not to bother wasting his time on this. Today, April Fools’ Day is not the day it once was and it’s time has come and gone.

Today they should just say what content each station has to provide as a minimum requirement of their licence – and for me this MUST include local news on a local station. It is much easier to manage and regulate. What songs they play is simply taking up far too much time of the regulators tea break.

It strikes me that if radio stations are cutting the hits back then record companies need to do more of this for them, even though they already provide a multitude of cuts right now. Perhaps a ‘Capital Cut’ or a ‘Kiss cut ‘would be ideal. At least the record companies can then at least try to ensure they get the best bit to air.
