A very sad day, having learned of the passing of ILR engineer BRUCE DAVIDSON. He was only 60 years old. He began his radio career in his home town of Newcastle in the 80s, with Metro, Minster and Chrysalis. Bruce led engineering teams at Bauer and Global. He was in the middle of moving back to his beloved Geordie-land after retiring.

50 kilowatt 'Classic Rock' blaster The Shark is now using the Super Hi-Fi Cloud based system. Tampa Bay's leading rocker now uses the Super Hi-Fi platform for all audio routing, enabling the entire operation to be controlled from a laptop anywhere in the world. "Humans program the music and host our shows," explains CEO Caroline Beasley, "but Super Hi-Fi’s AI-enabled cloud-based system carries the programming, management, voice-tracking, updating and delivery workflow, streamlining operations and preparing us for the future."

44 years ago that Radio Tay launched in Dundee (using transmitters across the River in Fife). Sadly the big new voice from Isla Street (where Mark Goodier honed his craft) has been sold off to a German group, who now think Dundee and Perth are worth only one show a day - and that hosted in Edinburgh! Surely Scotland's third city deserves better?

A very Happy Birthday to Jake, Sue , Ellen and all the team at WNYC in New York today - 100 yers old. What an amazing milestone for the NPR station in Municipal Building on Hudson Square. Still pounding out on 820AM (and some FMs too plus Sirius). One of the real nuggets of the New York broadcast scene.

BE are bringing their long awaited MDCL+ to market which can save tens of thousands a year in power costs on all makes of transmitter. It reduces power when mod' is louder and vice versa. The louder program content masks the added noise. It needs careful adjustment, which any good consulting engineer will get right. Up to 50% of power bills is claimed , and it takes only half a rack with no effect your coverage.

Taylor Swift is getting her own national DAB station, also available ONLINE to mobile & speakers, etc, to celebrate the UK legs of her 132 date tour. It gives Swifties, the chance to listen to their favourite artist all-day, every-day. It’s the first time in the UK that a national station has been dedicated to a single artist, although Bothe Caroline and Laser did long periods of testing with all-Beatles music.
Will YOU be tuning in? Could you stand hearing any artist all day long?

Radio listeners in France can enjoy VIRGIN RADIO once again with the licence to use the name being taken up by Espace, who have replaced their VIRAGE ROCK network with it. It's on DAB+ and in most major cities and ONLINE everywhere. They use the same licensing agreement as in other countries to exploit the Virgin brand, with local operators marketing and programming the station, which also has fourteen subsidiary outlets including CLASSIQUE ROCK. Ooo La La!

It seems that I've become a museum piece! Some friends just spotted me at a Radio Caroline exhibit in the Cotswold Motor Museum. I love that sign - "Do not touch the DJ"!. So is that what happens when old DJs retire?

BORE DA !
Have a lovely leeky day!
All my Welsh friends, and all the Davids too.
(My dad was a David, and his initials were DJ-R, a coincidence?)
Sorry to hear there's snow up them there hills; we have a bright sunny dawn here in Yorkshire. It looks like the first day of spring.
