Hey, just a quick note to anyone who did listen to my radio show

As of today i am no longer presenting on OTC, this is due to the fact me and the boss of the station had yet another argument last night, which turned nasty and anyway i got fired.

Just thought i'd i'd let everyone know in one go rather than typing again and again and again hehe. so yeah

For more information:

MSN: Leigh Last: [email protected]

And if you wanna keep in touch with what i am up to on the radio side of things, and there is something HUGE!! in the pipeline ;) add me to MSN:

oh dear, well what the hell happened? you had a very strong following as far as i can tell! was it playlist restrictions? i had that problem with my old show now and again when i had to stick to the playlist. well if you decide to go on in radio in the future, then you can still use this as a boosting point. everyone loves experience.

i can hear the jingle now, "mike redding, more of a rebel than tim shaw!"

on the grid.

Sacked? Its not as if they were paying you? It's only a Internet Radio station - they take it so seriously there ...

Personally, I think you can build on your experience of working for OTC and go further now and prove Tim Willett (is it still him?) that you're better than being on a Internet Radio Station.

I've listened a few times and you sound pretty good, its now time to improve on that and find another station somewhere. I'm sure there is a community station happy to take you on. If you keep on with the Station you're with, who knows? Have you considered looking to see if you live near a Uni or Hosp station?

I'm sure Mills and Moyles got sacked from jobs, I know Moyles certainly did and look where they both are now!

Good luck !

yeah thats a good idea. after you have taken your exams etc. community stations or college radio stations are great. some are on fm and some are on am, we went from am to fm recently. but if you are on am expect the majority of your listeners to be internet based, you shouldn't have any problems with that anyway.

Indeed, I certainly echo this!

Mike: you're next aim is go one better and find somewhere you can carry on to gain 'on air' experience as a presenter, or whatever you want to do.

The younger you gain Hosptial/ Community Radio the better it gives you in gaining a real Radio job. I've heard a few presenters and you've got a damn good idea of not making yourself sound like you've got a cold with that stupid DJ twang that some people do on their demos and on air...

"mike redding, more of a rebel than tim shaw!"

I can do better than that:

"They couldn’t find an Radio Station big enough for his ego – so they put him on an internet radio station instead. Mike Redding on Off The Chart Radio"

"Bird Flu, Steven Seagal and Pot Noodles - all of these are deadly, but none have had the hit rate of this man - Mike Redding. This week you will need to strap on the body armour and spend time listening to Mike Redding ... "

Noooooooo, no more hamster running around the wheel of radio.......? Well, at least on OTC anyway, haha. That's a shame, I really enjoyed listening to you Mike - as well as the many hundreds of mentions that you gave me, haha. Now who will I get to give my mum and dad an anniversary shoutout next year...?

Oh well, good luck with whatever it is you have "in the pipeline" and hope to see you make a return to the radio waves in the not-too-distant future, you are a genuinely really good DJ and deserve to go far. :D

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

They've done you a favour!

Surely you can move on to a much better place, where you don't have to constantly bicker with the boss, and you'll be appreciated.

Should we start a campaign, all sign a petition for you?:D

You certainly have lots of fans to cite in your CV references!

      Radio 2 Schedule Changes

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By TMD_24 · Posted

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      By R1Fan1 · Posted

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      Next Radio 1 boss

      By BBCAaron · Posted

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Next Radio 1 boss

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
