But i'd just remind myself that there were less than 100 people listening, half of them senile with no choice. I've done bigger gigs as king herod at jurby school. And no matter how shite the show is, the taxpayers will be there to bail it out. A truly win win win situation as a radio 'presenter'.

The question is if the TT is such small potato that even the local radio needs to be paid to cover it, then why are the government spending millions per year running it? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piebaps Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Because they claim that the visitor spend of the 30k fans who come to watch it provides a healthy shot in the arm for the local economy and enables some small businesses to operate year round providing employment etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Cannell and Peter Kneale knew about the TT and knew about bikes and through this they gained respect. They didn't get their notoriety by schoolboyishly talking suggestively to the riders about masturbation and pretending not to egg them on to use foul language on the air, and being laddishly 'naughty'.

the stinking enigma Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Tony mepham's alright, i don't want to be hyper critical of a potential future colleague but there's no way he should be getting more than a million and a half a year for that footie show. It's outrageous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The incomparable Jo Pack. I like Jo Pack and think she is knowledgeable and easy on the ear. I think she does a good job, not that I follow the TT ( ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
