Capital Radio and The Sardine News
The Sardine News and Capital Radio: it was a few years back when I discovered this amazing piece of work by Craig Johnston on YouTube. It was seriously motivational to me, and it certainly transformed the direction I was taking on YouTube.
So the theme of today’s report, although it is still a bona fide sardine report from Elton and the GoDive crew, is paying homage to Capital Radio. The Sardine News did the weekly fishing report at 6pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 1990 or so, it was a long time ago! Watch the sardine report below, and then watch the two-hour epic about the struggle and eventual plight of Capital Radio 604. You might need popcorn – and a tissue for the ending…
My tenure at Capital Radio as the fishing reporter lasted about two years. Rubbing shoulders with the radio greats. And getting paid! R172, every two weeks! Back then, that was money. Anyway, please watch this really good piece of work, it deserves all the views it can get…
When I couldn’t make it into the studio to do my show, I had to call in via ticky box, and we would do the report over the phone. I remember many times standing in a remote ticky box, shoving in R1 coins like a slot machine junky and having to hold for ages as the DJ cued me up. It was such a panic that I would run out of coins mid-show!
Just like today with The Sardine News!
