RADIO LATICS
1994/5 Season

During the three seasons on-air for Oldham Athletic's Matchday Radio Service for Oldham Athletic, I carried out various roles. I started out by answering the phones. Later moving on to produce the flagship 'Big Match Build Up' and 'Post Match Reaction' programmes. This consisted of driving the desk, bringing in interviews, phone calls and commentary items, and generally coordinating everything. This being the pre computer playout age we were strictly analog with carts and 1/4 inch tape!
