goldenfleece Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Having returned to Sheffield after 20 years I tuned into what used to be known as Radio Hallam, and had to put uop with this atrocious noise and rabble talking all over the records and shoting down the microphone. It sounded SOOOO amaterish I switiched off...FOR GOOD. TOTAL CRAP!!!! What happened to all the old Radio Hallam jocks, Ray Stuart, Keith Skues, Kelly Temple, Colin Slade, Johnny Moran, Beverly Chubb, Bill Crozier, Roger Moffat, etc. Dont tell me they all abandoned Sheffield........ Anyone know what happened to the once "Its nice to have a radio station as a friend" station known formerly as Radio Hallam, and not 'Hallam FM'.........the latter is beyond help!!!!!

alchresearch Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 It's turned into a dire radio station. I used to like it back in 87-88 when it was part of the "Yorkshire Radio Network" with Viking and Pennine and had DJs like Tim Finlay and James Watt.

Lickszz Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 In a word - Modernisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenfleece Posted October 19, 2003 Author Share Posted October 19, 2003 RIP Moffat and Stuart, did not know. Heard they had a bit of whisky drinking problem (???) from someone last night in the pub. They apparently got sacked by the new management, and drunk themselves to death, well thats what I heard. Sad... Got some old cassettes of them both on Radio Hallam in the car from about 25 years ago, much better to listen to than the crap they call Hallam now. Modernisation? You can stick that concept Hallam FM! Doesnt a lot change in 20 years!!! Everything is different beyond belief........ I went in the YORK in Broomhill last night.....wow, a Scream pub now....actually not too bad but lost all its atmosphere, and also lost Stones bitter as well, but that is no great loss.

Spacehopper Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Nah Den Ace....... I used to listen to an irreverant evening show on Radio Hallam, back in the late 70s/early 80s. I could be wrong but I think the presenter was Martin Kelner. A lot of us used to discuss last night's show in the playground. Remember, this was a time when we only had 3 channels on the telly; and the only thing slightly anarchic on telly was The Kenny Everitt Show and Not The Nine O' Clock News. Regards, Spacehopper.

Andy Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Martin Kelner's just written a book, and he presents a football phone-in on Radio Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenfleece Posted October 19, 2003 Author Share Posted October 19, 2003 yes The Martin keller late show, weekdays 10 while midnight it was. he used to read out letters from schoolkids and was a sort of hero, but had a dodgy hair style, but then it was 1980. Ah, when local radio was actually worth listening to for entertainment value...... We used to listen in 1980/81 and everyone would be talking about it at school about whose letter got ready out, etc and who had met mr kellner in Sainsbury's that weekend, etc. Groovy...

MrH Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I think Keith Skues Cardboard Shoes, who was actually one of the very first Radio 1 DJs (apart from Tony Blackburn), is now doing an Alan Partridge as a presenter on BBC Radio Norfolk. Roger Moffatt did a final few shows on Saturday mornings on BBC Radio Sheffield, mostly recounting the times he had been sacked by the BBC. He was a repected broadcaster with Radio 4 at the peak of his career - and I think was also a co-presenter with Pinky & Perky! I think he sadly ended is days in a bedsit in Broomhill. Jim Greensmith, former News Editor at Radio Hallam, sadly died only last week. Other former Hallam DJs/presenters are now with Radio Sheffield (Dean Pepall & Gery Kersey, for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenfleece Posted October 19, 2003 Author Share Posted October 19, 2003 My God, yes I remember now. In 1981 I was in Sheffield and I met Roger in the YORK in Broomhill, he was living in a bedsit there and apparently drinking a crate of whiskey a day. He had a walking stick with a bell on it and all the students loved him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
