    Was surprised to hear Greg on fm104 this morning whilst heading to work. To my knowledge, he has not been on air in a long time yet suddenly pops up on fm104.

    It just goes to show that when it comes to fm104, it is not what you know, but who you know. :mad:

    Hadn't heard he was on FM104. Well done to him.

    He may not have been on air in a while, but there's no-one that can say he didn't serve his time (from working with Energy, Freedom, KFM, CKR etc).

    Would make you think about he employment standards of fm104. Seems that if you are a friend of Mark Nobles, you are guaranteed a job in there. Easy to see that Dave Kelly clearly has no involvement with who is on air and gives Mr. Noble free reign.

    He's more than likely just filling in (giving that he's a pilot and based mostly in another country). Yeah he's probably a friend of Mark Noble, but if its a one of, fill in slot, then why not call up a buddy who knows how everything works and has a track record behind him (he's still on air with Pulse too) and throw him in there. What show was he on incidently OP?

    I could be a mile off the mark...but it sounds quiet a bit like the OP has been refused a position with 104 to me. Feel free to call me out on that though.

    The fact remains, Greg's demo was probably a hell of a lot stronger than other applicants. Fran correctly pointed out that he has actually been working on Pulse, but regardless, taking a break from the industry doesn't disqualify you from future employment. Look at Parkinson on the BBC!

    I'd also like to add, that on at least one occassion I have contacted Mark with the details of someone I felt was worth his time. He subsequently hired the person I spoke to him about. Nobby recognises talent...if he already knows that person - does that make it wrong to hire them?
