About Us
Hello. We're Donnach, Clive and Adrian. At the end of June 2008 we joined the team at One Golden Square, with big plans for the UK's biggest commercial radio station. This blog is where we are discussing and shaping our audio and online radio vision. Anyone from the team is welcome to write a post, and comments are, of course, welcome from all.
In the news
Noel Gallagher tells Christian O'Connell that he's going to be the next british Prime Minister "There will be a groundswell of public opinion sooner or later which will carry me into office, and let me tell you, I’ll only be there five years, right, and it’ll all end in tears, but it will be a proper, proper laugh while it’s happening!” - The Sun, 5th February
"Things we Like: It’s common for radio stations to run tie-ins with cab drivers, but Absolute DJ Christian O’Connell delivered one of the better ideas this week – inviting London Black Cab dricvers to race to Absolute HQ in Golden Square to win one of 100 free digital radios."
Campaign, 24 November.
"Absolute Radio has pulled off the challenge of launching a brand from scratch....The Absolute brand is starting from the ground floor, but it has already started to deliver. The mix of modern and classic rock is skilfully put together, managing to surprise and satisfy the need for the familiar. Whether Queen of Kings of Leon – to quote one of the station’s outdoor ads – there’s a coherency and energy to the music that is refreshing."
Paul Robinson, MD of KidsCo quoted in Broadcast, 14 November 2008.
Robert Plant tells Absolute Radio's Ben Jones there's no chance of a Led Zep tour "To visit old ground… it'#s very hard to go back and meet that head-on and do it justice."
Daily Star, 4th Februay 2009
Chris Martin tells Absolute Radio's Christian O'Connell he's been banned from the studio! "The rest of the band are in the studio… Brian Eno said it would be better without me for the first two weeks!"
The Sun, 31st January 2009
"Absolute radio remains on course to hit it's two-year audience target of 3.5 million."
