Life is apt to get in the way of my ambition to be an ace radio star so it's great to be back on the blog with news of what's going on at Angel Radio.
To be truthful it's not only life and earning a living that stop one being a radio star. The time, the thought and the preparation that go into each programme before the actual broadcast is incredibly important too.
Some broadcasters turn up with a more or less complete script, others have notes jotted on the back of an envelope, others have pre-recorded inserts ready to play at appropriate points in their show.
Then there are the pre-recorded jingles giving times of various programmes and the Angel Radio call signal itself now that we are on 91.5 FM as well as Wightcable.
I had no idea of the behind-the-scenes preparation for a radio show until I joined the team. It's not simply a case of grabbing a microphone, announcing records and chatting to listeners. It's a vocation.
Our presenters and team may be volunteers but all live and breathe Angel Radio and work to make it the best station on which to listen to the stars of yesteryear.
Once a month, I shall be interviewing one of our presenters for this blog. Many are retired professional radio presenters, all are dedicated to presenting the most interesting and appealing programmes they can.
Watching the progress of Angel Radio may inspire you to listen to us and perhaps to emulate us by starting a station of your own. But I warn you --Angel Radio Isle of Wight will be a hard station to beat.
