It's official! After a wait of almost a year, our company BCFM has been awarded the new radio broadcast licence for Bristol! 

Here we are in Clifton with the other members of the Board of Directors for BCFM, a group of people who now face a year of hard graft to get the station up and running. Hey, it's what we like doing. This means that the next few months are going to be really intense so thank God there's no Glastonbury Festival this year because we usually do their radio station too.

It was a double-plus-good month. Just after our team succeeded in getting the radio licence for Bristol, my brother and sister-in-law had a son so I'm now an Uncle for the first time. And if that's not all, I was on lunchbreak one day and got a call during my salad-scoffing. My Saturday employer Immedia were offering me a full-time radio presentation job starting in 5 days! By the end of lunch I'd resigned from Personal Recruiter,  my workplace of the last two and a half years! Now THAT'S speedy.

This is an ideal transition to our BCFM Bristol project (which starts up quite a way down the line) and means I have a long daily commute to the Immedia studios near Oxford. Still, it's no longer than the commute faced by half the Londoners I know - and they work and live in the same city!!
