Happy 88th birthday today to the legendary David Hamilton - on-air every day and enjoying every minute! And with firm views in the light of Sir Tom's news.
A most amazing #proms tonight at the RAH with friends.
@marinalsop conducting wonderful American Classics, a glorious excess of Bernstein and Copeland.
Thank you @classicjacko.

This Day: 1934. Droitwich came on-air, broadcasting the BBC National Programme on 1500m long-wave with the BBC's largest ever transmitter at 150 kW, built by Marconi. Highest ever masts taking 10 mins in lift to get to top. 150 journos attended the opening youtu.be/7hr4xwpZYJ0

Lucky enough to visit Droitwich in 1978 (skittles match - BRMB engineers vs BBC). Had a tour round the station. The same motor generators were still there, still working.
What’s more remarkable is that commercial radio and BBC were actually socialising. That’s engineers for you!

it’s a 2 minute radio program, never repeated, broadcast 18 times a week.
Bigger audience than Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon … combined.
Millions listen, with no need for the information it gives. Just to listen.
The BBC Shipping Forecast is 100 years old.

He’s written a huge number of hits and film themes - and was much loved on the radio. On Mayday Monday at 8, we welcome lyricist Don Black to Boom for an evening of ‘Our Kind of Music’.
Just watched #TheAssembly with @michaelsheen.
I gather this was the pilot.
What an extraordinary format.
Can’t wait to watch more and see how the Assembly cast grow in confidence as the series progresses.

@BoomRadioUK One of the many great things about Boom radio is, because they're music guys, they're happy to cut chat short and let the music start, and at the track end let the music play out before rejoining us. Grown up expert DJs is exactly what makes Boom.. well, Boom.

Day 2, and so many new entries on my favourite music chart of the year
Such a great listen
Continues @BoomRadioUK today, tomorrow and Monday
(Surely The Nolans will be in there this year?)
