from the media monkey section of the guardian...............


Was there rather too much of the Christmas spirit at south Bucks radio station, Mix 107? Monkey only asks after the lunchtime programme on Christmas Day (Monkey tuned in while carving the turkey) kicked off with Daniel Bedingfield's Nothing Hurts Like Love. It then went quiet, before returning with Daniel Bedingfield's... Nothing Hurts Like Love. The third track was... Nothing Hurts Like Love, followed by, you guessed it... Nothing Hurts Like Love. After about the seventh playing, it was briefly interrupted (we think) by Do They Know It's Christmas, before returning to Daniel Bedingfield and Nothing Hurts Like Love. Promised news headlines on the hour failed to appear, although listeners were treated to a recorded message, something about IRN and the Sirius Satellite, before returning to... Nothing Hurts Like Love. The Sony award is in the post. For services to Daniel Bedingfield, obviously.

'Mixed Up 107', more like.... embarassed faces all round, no doubt! Smile

Didn't the late, great John Peel play the Undertones' "Teenage Kicks" twice in a row, back to back, once?

Was a reluctant passenger in a van in the middle of nowhere in Scotland once, and it only had a short wave radio - the only station it could pick up was Atlantic 252 which at that time had an hourly playlist of exactly four tunes. Daniel Bedingfield wasn't one of them, but it was a similar experience.... Sad
