Monday 17th January sees the most extraordinary day ever in radio. Commercial radio is coming together to broadcast UK Radio Aid - a day of very special guests, presenters and activity to raise money for the Tsunami appeal. You'll never hear anything like it again. Let's come together and help them build their future.

It's a special day of programmes that will be broadcast on every commercial radio station in the UK - from Classic FM to Galaxy. Presenters include Chris Evans, Shane Ritchie, Zoe Ball, Simon Bates and Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne.

Sounds like a small world!? :?

ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT IT IS GREAT TO HEAR CHRIS EVANS BACK ON THE RADIO!!

It was all going quite well until 10am when they handed over to Simon Bates and........... Jade Goody.

Her common, scummy, chavvy voice screeching out drove us to turn off.

Would have to agree with you on this one...

Jade was defo not a good choice... but i did notice Simon did do quite a bit of the talking... she hasnt changed has she!? Still as thick as ever :? wonders if she really knew what she was on the radio for... :huh:

Its such a shame for a person to have so little knowledge... especially with 2 little ones to bring up... :(


Really enjoying the broadcast tho... great idea :thumbsup:

Is it me, or do the previews for this event sound very smug, saying look how wonderful we are.

Believe me I agree that it is a very good cause, and I hope they raise as much as possible, but I'm always very cynical when otherwise commercial organisations get involved with charity, it seems that they are, as usual, always looking at the bottom line.

I am feeling a little the way you are too... believe me i do feel for these people that have lost relatives/houses etc... I have also made donations via texts...

But i cant help thinking what is going to be done about the British that have also lost Loved ones/friends & family... especially those that were out there on special ocassions... Will all the money just be shipped out? :? an yet again 'our own' suffer :(

so thats why hallam and galaxy sounded like they were playing the exact same playlist this morning, i thought i just hadn't woken up properly!



I still haven't.

Where have you been :? they were advertising it all last week.. Doh!

You should be listening to it... its a great broadcast :D

I don't listen to local radio much, it makes me ill how bad and unfunny it is. I find national radio is always quality DJ-ing and the comedy is a bit better.

But thats just me!

Just heard on Hallam FM that the meal with George Michael & his partner went for over a Million :o Is that right? I did try an keep track on ebay but seemed to dissapear :?

Does anyone know? i dont feel its true as i've just had another look through on ebay an it's re~appeared the current bid stands at £5,100.00 :o somebody must be very rich thats all i can say :?
