Ultimate local radio, just now. Guy calls in a panic, stuck for two hours in a snow drift. Tried digging himself out but getting nowhere.
I mention his location on air. Within 10 minutes a tractor arrives to tow him out and he's heading home.
Our listeners are the best.

Ten years ago today I died (temporarily, thankfully). Our amazing NHS brought me back and, after a few months, got me back on my feet has kept me going ever since thanks to a couple of pills a day! A decade on, I’m happily married with my dream job. Life couldn’t be better.

Had a 75 year old call my show to tell me how heavy she was when born (I was talking about heavy babies at the time).
Anyway, she told me she loves Lincs FM and that we’d kept her company this Christmas after the death of her husband.
That’s the power of local radio. Right there.

In the right place at exactly the right time. I was driving past Scampton when I saw the Red Arrows approaching. Pulled up, hopped out of car, saw them break and then home minutes later! One of the joys of being in Lincolnshire.

I’m a very very proud Director of Programming today. Despite an uncertain six months, we’ve had some of the best listening figures in a long time. More listeners switching us on and listening for longer too. Clearly they like truly local radio. My team are truly amazing.

Happy 100th Birthday RAF. As a gift, we’re closing the country’s most historic airbase. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that the Government has confirmed the closure of RAF Scampton on the last day of Parliament, meaning no time for debate.

In 6 weeks time, it’ll be 28 yrs since I first walked through the doors of Lincs FM to help compile the football results. I then went on to read the bulletins and, for the last 20 years, presented the show itself.
Today, I’m doing it, for the last time EVER! Gulp.

As of midnight I will officially no longer work for Lincs FM, ending 28 years of very happy memories. I wish the Group well. It’s new owners (when they’re finally allowed to arrive) will inherit an amazing, wonderfully talented, team.Truly local radio is a thing to be cherished.

Sad to see the Lincs FM name disappear. I was proud to be a part of the station in its heyday, helping build it to be one of the most successful stations in the country at the time. Viking FM is also a station I remember from its very early days.
Free Radio, Gem Radio, Hallam FM, Lincs FM, Metro Radio, Pulse 1, Radio City, Rock FM, Signal 1, TFM, Viking FM and Wave Swansea are rebranding to Hits Radio...

Today, we held a hastily arranged send off for Lord Lincs, the man who made Lincs FM possible, 27 years ago this week. I was asked to give his goodbye speech, a difficult speech to deliver. I’ve spent over half my life working for him. As I said, radio will be poorer without him.
