So, once again, my blog updates seem to be quarterly!! Truth is that is kind of embarrassing. Weekly at the very least but with a 11 month old, time really really does fly.
A few friends have suggested I launch a Facebook page for the station, and so I did that today. Why not take [...]
I really am getting slack on writing blog posts. I have made a spring resolution(!) to improve that!
Two weeks ago the clocks moved forward here in America, and so psychologically my brain started to think Spring was on the way. It’s something we in the Washington, DC area really needed. We were whacked by the [...]
Well, it has been some time since I last wrote a blog entry. As usual, time gets away and before I know, we’re at the end of 2009. So let me wish you all a very Happy New Year and I thank you for listening to 2NG Atlantic Oldies. It’s been a pleasure and I [...]
So, armed with a large collection of diapers (nappies in my English), baby wipes and the “best thing since sliced bread”, the Diaper Genie the last month has just gone so quick. I deliberately didn’t record any new shows on 2NG (The Rick Ainley Show) as I knew time would fly but nothing prepared me [...]
Earlier this week, I joined that popular world of parenthood. On Thursday at 2:01pm our new daughter, Natalie arrived, and from now on, my years of being selfish are over. For those you who have experienced this, you were right when you said “Nothing in the world will prepare you for then”. That moment when [...]
Wow, I was looking at the blog and noticed I haven’t posted for about three months. Time flies, I’m entering baby world and they tell me time flies even faster, so that is scary in itself. Express train to old and creepy!!
Well, we’ve been having some fun on Atlantic Oldies 2NG. I’ve added a few [...]
So, I find myself with a few spare hours thanks to the economy, having been “furloughed” for a week. Well, yesterday I decided to do a live show in the middle of the day, which is peak audiences. Hell, it’s my station and why not.
So this morning at 11am EDT, I went live for two [...]
Regular listeners cannot help but have noticed that 2NG – Two Nations Gold has now become Atlantic Oldies 2NG. Just like that, and I have received the odd email asking why?
Well, 2NG has existed for about 3-1/2 years now and truth is a lot of the music that entered the charts of either the U.S. [...]
Wow, one of the great unwritten mysteries is that time flies quicker the older you get. I can recall writing some entries in my blog last year and suddenly here I am, writing an entry for the end of 2008.
Whilst I love Christmas music, it does drive me nuts if I get immersed in it, [...]
Last Sunday (9th) I took the opportunity and took 2NG live for two hours. It was great fun, we had many listeners and really took radio back to that golden era when it wasn’t controlled by liner cards, consultants and the urge to maximise profits.
Many listeners took the opportunity to use the Webchat and interact [...]
