Egads. That fair breaks your heart don’t it? Radio Anywhere could have been so much better than it ended up. Eebygum always has these good intentions and big plans but in the end just gives up. He talks a good game mind, although I had to cringe a bit at ‘very big names have come onboard to advertise and sponsor the station’ I suppose Greggorean does have four syllables.
Still, it’s a nice picture of them both
Very much agree, it's what we all thought. I can't think of a single person who didn't see the potential in Radio Any
onelisteningwhere.
I kept on saying:
- it had legs
- was a way back for Eyan
- it acted as a good demonstration to the radio hiring bods that Eyan can still cut it on a late night slot (maybe not on a national, but at least some regional station as a stepping stone)
- Eyan could build upon it
- was a good reminder of what Eyan used to do well, it had hope and that's worth a lot
- a fantastic reminder that ditching Kaffbo results in a
far better show for myriad reasons
Alas, Eyan lost interest in it almost as soon as it started.
It's exactly what you say: had good intentions, had big plans but in the end just gives up.
It was seriously flawed and way over ambitious in its implementation. He should have, imho, just stuck to doing a 3 hour late night like he did in the early TR TLNA days (before Kaffbo got involved) and he would have easily built up a few thousand listeners.
It was probably the best thing he did since getting the boot at TR.
Then take that success to a radio bigwig and say,
"Look what I did with naff all resources! I'm back! Hire me please. I won't be bringing that dead weight albatross around my neck called Kaffbo with me, so hiring me is
not conditional on you also taking Kaffbo, so you don't need to find an extra £30k".
But, naaah. Eyan did the exact opposite.
p.s. yes it was funny Eyan saying "I’m also amazed that some very big names have come onboard to advertise and sponsor the station". He should have said, "I’m also amazed that very BIG G name have come onboard to advertise and sponsor the station" if he wanted to be accurate. LOLs.
Countdown to the 1st starts now.
