"Memories
and more... Premier
FM are a very long-running station from
Dublin. They have been around as a pirate
station since the '80's and were known originally
as Premier AM. In 2004, they began broadcasting
from the Russell Court Hotel, Harcourt Street,
operating under a 30 day temporary licence
(spread out over 14 weekends - mid September
- mid-December). Premier FM is an oldies
station that fulfils it's promise of playing
the greatest hits of all time. Listening
will bring back many memories and will reintroduce
you to tracks you'd long forgotten. Even
when fully-automated Premier was one of
the few genuinely pleasurable stations on
air."
In
September 2004 I was asked if I
would be interested in joining a
radio station that specialised in
playing 'oldies - hits from
1960
to 1990'.
It
sounded like a great idea and I
joined the team, presenting the
Sunday afternoon show: "The
Classic Chart Countdown with Stereo
Steve".
Over
14 weekends, each show featured
the number one songs from a particular
year, with hourly news bulletins
supplied by Avril Keogh and she
also supplied the legendary 'Cheesy
Choons'. Additional music production
was provided by Derek Jones. I also
got the chance to meet Mike Eastwood
again - the last time we worked
on a radio station together was
in 1978 on Radio Dublin.
Premier
FM was one of the most enjoyable
times I have experienced on the
radio for many years. It was great
to be BACK!!
