Nice bit of publicity Oxygen. Michael Portillo referred to A.M. DAB and internet modes. Ellie's T shirt had 648 khz visible as did the closing shot of the Ross. Is this a first for the BBC in that they actually publicised the broadcast frequency. People may be disappointed if they tune to 199M though and my bet is that not many people know what that means or how to get there anyway. Hopefully 648khz would ring a bell (no pun intended) Only thing lacking was anything along the lines of the dry dock appeal. Missed trick or edited out Peter ?

Hello,
We waited with anticipation as we always do for Caroline/Revenge to be on the TV. And then it is and then just as soon, it is over.
I should mention that Nigel Harris and Johnny Lewis and Laura Pursey from our FM spin off station also gave up their time, but sadly did not make it to the final edit.
They wanted a silly old bugger namely me and a bright young thing namely Ellie Boyce who nailed it in my view. Sadly the sequence of Portillo and Ellie dancing together also did not make the final edit.
But it was a sympathetic piece that will turn up forever more on random TV channels to our benefit.
We did get a good reaction from people who said that the TV made them realise that Caroline was still operating and that it was like rediscovering an old friend.
We certainly are the only radio station that always attracts media attention.
