Subject: RE: Musicians turn Radio Personalities

Message Detail:
Jim initialized: Actually, it is quite a good show, but it is increasingly common in the UK where as far as I can see, the shows are made by private (non-BBC) studios, and sold on to the BBC.

Some syndicated shows are free, but some are offered $irius. Hey, we have to keep our unemployed people with a job, somehow! :)

Jim wrote: However, the best oldies show by far on the BBC is the one presented each Saturday morning (at 8am), by Brian Matthew.

But he's 84 years old!

Jim added, before I finished reading: he is now 84

Oh :-)

Jim finalized: His biography, plus samples of his shows, is on the web at an excellent site, Radio Rewind (see link)

Okay! Thank you, Jim!

Best,
John
