Angel Radio, Isle of Wight. This is Day One recording my progress as a trainee angel for Angel Radio IOW. Angel Radio is now on the way to becoming the community radio station on the Isle of Wight for the over-60s and everyone who enjoys pre-Beatles music.

The team (Chris Gutteridge, Bev Webster et alii --not me) have won their wings presenting music and memories on cable 24 hours a day for the past five years. I am still flapping around on the sidelines wondering what makes a great radio presenter and how I will ever match up to their effortless expertise.

This will be a steep learning curve as we go live on FM in January 2006.

The history of Angel Radio and its charismatic founder Tony Smith can be found on the website of Angel Radio, Havant

Angel Radio IOW is now spreading its own wings, thanks to the great and continuing support of Wight Cable .
