Downtown Radio celebrates itâs 50th birthday today. To become the âstation voiceâ and a presenter on the station for nearly a decade was a childhood dream come true. I'm really proud to have played a small part in the Downtown story.

I was working at Downtown Radio at the time of the 20th birthday celebrations.... today the station is 50 years old! It's the station we listened to at home when I was growing up and I'm proud to have been a (very!) small part of its history.

As Downtown begins its 50th year of broadcasting today, thoughts turn to Candy and Trevor, two of the original presenters who sadly left us last autumn. Thankful for all the memories.
