Amazing Rewind

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Have you ever missed your favourite Amazing Radio show, and missed the repeat too? I bet you were sad for the whole week. Well that doesn’t need to happen any more, now you can just rewind.

At the beginning of 2010 we introduced a new schedule on Amazing Radio helping you to discover even more excellent unsigned new music from amazingtunes.com. These programmes have proved extremely popular, although many of you have told us that you can’t tune in at particular times.

So as always, we’ve listened, and we’ve come up with something rather clever. It’s called Amazing Rewind and it allows you to listen to any of our presenters shows at a time that suits you. Evolutionary rather than revolutionary, it’s an amazingtunes.com profile dedicated to bringing you all the shows from that week so you can listen again.

With Amazing Rewind you can hear all of our Amazing Radio shows whenever you want to hear them. So you could be cottoning on, while you’re bunking off at work, or chilling out after a hard day, with me and some acoustic loveliness.

All you have to do is go to http://amazingradio.co.uk/rewind.

The wrong place to wield the axe

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

As the founder of the only national commercial radio station that’s remotely like 6Music – and someone who recently complained to the BBC Trust about the commercial impact of ‘BBC Introducing’ – I’m dancing on its grave, right?

Wrong. 6Music embodies what the BBC should be doing. It’s fresh, original, rightly popular, and sits happily alongside our more focused and entirely different offering in Amazing Radio. It brings more listeners to digital radio, where it and we are about the only interesting things going. It may have fourteen times our annual budget, but we’re not jealous. We’re lean and mean and growing rapidly, building a global private sector business that indirectly benefits from the BBC’s heritage (it trained most of our people, after all) but contributes to GDP too.

The BBC may be bloated, but 6Music is the wrong place to wield the axe.
