Radiostation Stories

When Iris joins a campus radio station, she expects a quiet job, a microphone, and a reason to avoid studying. She does not expect Jace. He's annoying, charming, funny-and way too comfortable on air. When the station needs a new idea, Iris and Jace come up with the most ridiculous idea: a live dating segment where listeners call in and compete for dates with them. It works. A little too well. Heartline FM instantly becomes a hit, and soon enough Iris and Jace find themselves getting ready for dates each night with strangers who might be their perfect match. But when it comes to all the radio station pressure, bad dates, and the chaos, Iris keeps turning towards Jace, the one person who always shows up when she needs it the most. The only rule that was made? No falling for each other. No dating. No exceptions. No matter what. Which would be easy... right?

A sci-fi mystery about a poor intern who got trapped within a studio with no help, a strange void, and only the radio as an aid. Will they escape? Why is there a void? And do lists make anything remotely better? Lyle, the poor intern, really hopes to gain any answer.

"You will present a weekly two-hour rock music show on Saturday night," my manager informed me. No if's or but's. No offer over which to mull. No demo tape to produce. No question asked about previous experience. Without warning, I was appointed as presenter on one of Britain's largest commercial radio stations. I had just started a full-time backroom job at 'Metro Radio' but had never asked to present a show. This was my first paying job in radio and suddenly I was also to be put on-air. The start of my radio career seemed to be heading in a positive direction.

I like to be helpful. If I have a skill, I will offer it to help solve a problem at work. I thought that was what working for an organisation was all about. The bringing together of people with different skills to work together to move things forward. But, in reality, I have often found that demonstrating a skill you have at work can get you noticed, but not necessarily in a positive way. Bizarrely, someone in a workplace who can demonstrate proven skills can be seen as the enemy. Why? Because, in the British media industry, most people are appointed not on the basis of the skills they bring to the job, but on the basis of who they are. Are they 'one of us'? Did they go to the right school, usually a private school? Do they speak with a posh accent? Do they know the 'right people'? Once given the job, these incumbents do not take kindly to some upstart colleague or underling who demonstrates in the workplace that they have proven skills which their posh colleague or manager have never had ... and have never had to have. They have been granted their role because they are simply 'the right stuff'.

Korean IT-girl Jennie Kim gets buried under a collapsed tunnel where she has to survive for days - waiting for the rescue workers. Her only silver-lightning is a radio frequency she's able to receive - keeping her alive. *** Media communications student Lalisa Manoban likes her normal, cozy life. Until the day she finds Korea's Prime Minister at her door.

I recognised the tune. Not only did I recognise it, I knew all the words and would have happily rapped along with it. But not here. Definitely not here during rush hour on a crowded Underground train. I was seated in the end carriage on the Metropolitan line at Baker Street station, where the service often paused for around ten minutes before heading northbound. A man had just plonked himself down on the seat next to me, put on headphones and started his cassette player. The volume of his music was not excessive but, sat in close proximity to his headset on a stationary train, I was able to recognise the tune.

In 1930, while the new London headquarters of the BBC, Broadcasting House, were being built, a venture called the International Broadcasting Company [IBC] launched from adjacent premises in Hallam Street. It sold commercial airtime to British advertisers and incorporated these messages into pre-recorded and live programmes for broadcast on European radio stations whose signals were audible in the UK. By 1938, IBC's radio production facilities were some of the most sophisticated in London, as noted in its publicity material:

"If this gets out, we're screwed," my boss told me. Actually, I have paraphrased because at least one expletive was guaranteed in this man's every sentence. He looked very worried. I was baffled. I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. "I don't just mean ME," he added in response to my bafflement that maybe he mistook for insouciance. "I mean YOU too, everyone in this building, this entire business. We are all f......" I will stop there. You can probably guess his favourite expletive.

A girl commits suicide and writes a note to each of her past lovers, will this finally explain her death or just confuse everyone further?

Alongside the revolution in television broadcasting, a similar battle of the airwaves is being waged on the radio. Will this forever wipe away the narrow choices offered by existing stations? Or is it possible to have faith in a revolution being waged from Downing Street? Grant Goddard examines the background to the first franchise application in London and looks at the way ahead for both winners and losers.

A story about love, loss, and the quiet sorrow of how love sometimes wins... and sometimes doesn't. This is a fantasy fan-fiction set in London, centred around Tom Hiddleston and my original character, Justine Hudson, unfolding within the late-night glow of a city radio station. No real DJs were harmed, borrowed, or even lightly inconvenienced in the making of this story-everything here is fictional, always has been, deep breaths, everyone. The story is steeped in music and emotion and comes with a curated playlist, because some feelings simply arrive better with a soundtrack. Set within the Hiddles-verse, this is a character-driven tale about connection, timing, and the ache of what might have been.

August 1989. There was a momentary lull in the usually frenetic activity at the [former London pirate radio station] 'KISS FM' office, whilst we awaited the next Independent Broadcasting Authority [IBA] announcement that would give specific details of the application procedure for the two new London FM [commercial radio] licences on offer. [KISS FM co-founder] Gordon McNamee turned his attention to other matters, since he understood that there was still no guarantee of KISS FM winning the licence, even on its second attempt.

Here in Phnom Penh, there are seventeen radio stations on the FM dial, even though Cambodia's capital city has a population of less than a million. But you are more likely to hear a song by Britney Spears or Madonna on the 'BBC World Service' (100 FM here) than on any of the local FM stations. Only one, 'Love FM' 97.5, plays Western music and its playlist stretches solely from the obscure ('Pretty Boy' seems to be the most requested song) to the bizarre (New Kids On The Block?). The rest of the local stations play exclusively Cambodian music. It's radio, Jim, but not as we know it. Several hundred hours of radio listening suggest two Cambodian programme formats that could be adopted in the West:

"this is Karter on the radio with the afternoon jams on 99.6 fm" karter energetically says into the mic. never did I ever expect to actually ever see a one night stand ever again but here I am! ___________ see what happens when autumn interns at a radio station but the radio host she is interning for turns out to be a one night stand from the weekend before, that turns to a secretive fling until she is hired as a host, read as they go through keeping everything a secret to a very public breakup

"It's just like the multinational pharmaceutical businesses deliberately designing toothpaste tubes so that you cannot squeeze out the last bit of toothpaste," I blurted. There was stunned silence while my colleagues seated on a circle of chairs in the middle of a low-ceiling conference room stared at me blankly. Was this young man mad? Perhaps I was. I cannot recall to which discussion topic my poorly chosen conspiracy theory analogy was intended to refer, but I clearly remember the reaction. I was present because a letter from Ric, our manager, had instructed me to attend. I had no comprehension what this meeting was intended to achieve. By the time I opened my mouth, the gathering had seemed somewhat pointless.

In Radio Sterling City, there was a girl named DWKC who tries to follow her dreams for herself and to her friends. A new classmate, named DZRH, remembered her all of a sudden and became DWKC's secret love interest!
