Absolute Radio has said sorry after stand-in presenter/comedian Lou Sanders caused Ofcom to investigate the Geoff Lloyd show.

Lou was covering for Annabel Port when the presenters on the show were discussing chat-up lines. At 18:40 there was an item featuring Lou Sanders reading out a number of “unisex…chat-up lines”.


One of the lines was read out by Lou Sanders who said: “Hello sweetie, do you have the time….. to suck me off?!”

Geoff Lloyd immediately said: “Sorry about that listeners” and then played a music track. After the track had finished, both Geoff Lloyd and Lou Sanders apologised for what she had said.

In Autumn 2016, Wisebuddah was chosen to produce a new station sound package for BBC Radio 1. 

Comprising 8 core themes, the new sound reflects the mainstream output of the station, from electronic and dance to indie & pop. 

Wisebuddah Producer, George Taylor: “Radio 1 wanted this package to be authentic, creative and to the point. Musically it needed to match the playlist, vocally it needed to be authentic and functionally it needed to get to the point. We created a sonic “ONE” that will run through the daytime IDs, beds and song intros. The vocal talent are all up-and-coming artists, I opened the mic and they did their thing.” 

Paul Plant, Managing Director, Wisebuddah Jingles:  “To be able to add such a high profile package and Radio 1 to our portfolio of BBC stations is incredible. I am constantly surprised and delighted by the sonic diversity and the output produced by our team. To be able to place this package alongside our work for Radio 2 and the Asian Network makes for a hugely diverse and vibrant working environment.

Radio 1 is without doubt one of the world’s most iconic radio stations, so it’s been a privilege to work with Matt and the team in developing and nurturing the station into the sound of 2017 and beyond. It’s innovative, creative, future facing and it encompasses everything that the station stands for.”

Welcome to Nation Radio 2017, a brand new custom jingle package for Wales' national commercial radio station.

Each theme has a feel-good vibe, with pop, rock and dance sounds infused to ensure that there's a theme for every kind of music on your station. Nation's Programme Director Neil Greenslade loves them too, saying "These jingles sound great on air - we love them!"

Nation chose to not have a slogan or frequency sung on their jingles, however the slogan mixes all have room for your positioning statement or frequency, should you wish to have it included. Get in touch and we'll tell you more about customisation and flexibility.

"They do speak for themselves! Ignite really delivered on this package for us, the 4 note sonic logo is contagious and hearing listeners already humming it, is amazing! This package fits our format perfectly and we are delighted with the finished product."

It was with great sadness that I learned of the death of the legendary Gay Byrne today (November 4th 2019). I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing him on more than one occasion and here's just one of those interviews where he started by telling me he had all the radio bingo numbers!
