Product Information
Simon Bates had been a Radio One DJ for 16 years when he resigned in September 1993. Bates believed in public service broadcasting and his mid-morning show regularly attracted 9 million listeners - a mixture of music, gossip, information, humour and issues. A further 2 million tuned in especially to hear it's best-known programme, Our Tune . Bates reveals how difficult - and sometimes funny - it actually was to work at the BBC. He also shows in detail the antiquated mechanics of Radio One, and the muddled state of the BBC. This is an autobiography of a previously private man, and tells of his upbringing, his determination to become a broadcaster, his teenage and adult travels around the world, his life and his loves. It contains the celebrity stories Radio One couldn't broadcast, and it is honest about a lifetime in broadcasting.Product Identifiers
