Sack the Self Employed TV, radio and movie bosses will be taking a close interest in Terry Christian's claim that he was unfairly dismissed by BBC Radio Manchester. Normally this type of case is disqualified from going to a full Employment Tribunal as self employed DJ's and Presenters have learned before that even though they may have attended the same office, sat at the same desk and used the same equipment for many years - they are deemed to be not employed. Should Terry Christian win every DJ and TV Presenter you hear and see will overnight be entitled to rights hitherto denied but in principle that should be afforded to all workers under European Law. Self employed normally use their own equipment, make their own working practices and in their own time, Terry claims the BBC instructed him to 'go softly' when interviewing Council Officials and that this instruction is evidence that he was employed.

Classic Album - 1992 We pay tribute here to one of the greatest ever album's. From start to finis one of rap's most thoughtful, analytical and finest creations - so impressed was Bono he asked Michael Franti and his Disposables to help kick off U2's Zoo TV tour. Click the image above for Franti's vid of the devastating damage caused by the irresponsible and sometimes plain evil use of 'Television'. Also featured on this masterpiece a tune simply called 'Music & Politics'. A disarming, disturbingly honest knub of all that troubles, personally and politically, the lyrics reproduced here If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics And I would tell you that sometimes If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics I would tell you that sometimes If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics I would tell you that music is the expression of emotion
Van Out'ed GCap's new owners Global have wasted little time making major changes. The Red Dragon FM website has become a fill the gaps game with fifteen year veteren Jason Harrold removed from his Breakfast Show to Evenings before end of month exit and no permanent replacement yet appointed. At Global HQ, Capital FM in London Denise has Van Outen'd to go house-hunting with her new man Lee Mead. Her 'moving on' apparently nothing to do with the last two rajar radio listening surveys. Figures showed the new improved Johnny Vaughan / Denise Van Outen Breakfast Show dipped from 3rd to 4th in radio's premier league - it's the first time in it's eighteen year history KISS FM has beaten Capital. Sad Capital was London's market leader for fifteen years until 2002. No Sell Out Madonna couldn't shift all her Cardiff tickets and REM's Millennium Stadium gig was switched to the smaller indoor CIA venue after sluggish sales. Promoter Live Nation said about 18,000 tickets were sold for the stadium, against a capacity for the show of about 35,000. The government remains upbeat about Britain's chances of battling through recession, God bless 'em |
British radio loses it's virginity   Fifteen years ago, Virgin Radio heralded its arrival with a fuzzy medium wave blast of Born To Be Wild, played by Aussie rock giants INXS. Now it's new owners The Times Of India are changing its name - to Absolute Radio. "It's a really good choice," says radio industry expert Matt Deegan, creative director of Folder Media, of the new name. "It says 'this is what we do". Absolute say they'll drop the worst bits and increases the playlist tenfold with 9am to 5pm no repeat workdays. Christian O'Connell announced the moniker by playing The Beatles' Revolution on Tuesday's breakfast show, his job safe for now while JK & Joel and Tony Hadley will be leaving the station. There will be a month long 'cross-fade' where both brand names will be used in order to sell the changes to existing listeners. 3 Sep 08 |
