Don Allen tribute on Radio Six

May 13th marks the 20th anniversary of the death of radio legend ‘Daffy’ Don Allen who passed away following a heart attack. Don worked for offshore station Radio Caroline North in the ‘sixties and became the station’s senior deejay. He had, among other shows, a very popular country music programme, which for some time was also transmitted on Radio Caroline South. In the ‘seventies, Don worked for Radio Northsea International. After that, he worked for Irish stations and Manx Radio on the Isle of Man. To mark his sudden death 20 years ago, we’re broadcasting a special Don Allen Revival Show produced by his friend Kenny Tosh. The programme will include a number of former Caroline deejays describing what it was like to work with Don Allen. Tune in on Thursday May 14th at 19.00 GMT (8pm UK, 9pm Europe) with repeats over the weekend.

Red Sands Radio: Staffing shortages hit local FM radio station

Staffing shortages hit local FM radio station
Based in the historic harbour at Whitstable, Red Sands Radio originally broadcast from the Offshore Forts and this year is suffering a severe shortfall in staff
“Red Sands Radio Founder MD and Programme Director Bob Le-Roi said; “With a small core of dedicated key members it’s always been difficult to juggle life-work commitments with running Red Sands Radio”
“We strive to achieve a high standard at Red Sands Radio with core daytime programmes hosted by professional broadcasters. However, when they become indisposed or indeed things go wrong we don’t have sufficient quality back-up”
“This coupled with a shortfall at weekends; we haven’t the resources to provide the quality of service the Coastal Towns expect of us. Consequently with regret, it’s unlikely Red Sands Radio will be on-air for its 9th successive year in 2015”
