I heard a year ago that changes would affect my BBC shows. Since, final dates have been moved and been changed with little notice. Still with no certainty about final dates, I am taking control. I will present my last show on 8th Oct
I will still be on Caroline
Be Happy Ray x

Just to clarify, no, of course I don't want to give up a successful & popular regional

show, but to be told 'you finish in January, no March, no June, no perhaps October' is cruel & unfair. So, I've decided I'll finish 8th October Thank you for listening. See you on Caroline

28,000 people seem to be interested, not in me, but in the situation surrounding future plans for BBC Local Radio - what does that say about the plans?

But the pirates weren't the first to broadcast from Frinton
