A last roll of the dice? It is actually an embarrassment. Should have left the memory of the original Hot fm untouched.

Easy with live programming this evening - Paul Wilson to 1am - mentioning Darren O Neil (Retro Radio) is joining for weekends apparently. Hot FM audio is non existent - Now FM sounding very good on 91.6

SWR meter wrote: » It is completely ridiculous. This is not the first time Hot fm have had extended issues with their transmission. I guess the boss man is in Spain so he cant even hear it. No listeners care enough to tell him either! There is literally no point to the existence of this station. He is actually just sat in a studio talking to himself. Very sad.
