Picadilly Radio

[Twocky61]

Picadilly Radio is a Manchester uk based commercial radio station

The more memorable events were when that annoying phleb Timmy Mallet hosted a quiz where you asked him a question & if he answered correctly you had to go tho the studios & give him a present.

The prizes he won included a Hari Krishma record which he constantly played lol & a parakeet to which he said "What am I going to do with a parakeet?" Some bright spark suggested he has it for dinner lol

There was also a presenter Susie Mathis who was hosting a phone-in show about the rights & wrongs of an abortion. Some troll phoned in & told her she is against abortion because she lost her own baby so naturally she would be against abortion

Re: Picadilly Radio

When I was young the Picadilly Radio 261 stickers were all over the place.

Eventually it split in the late 1980s so Key 103 became a pop station, & Picadilly Gold (Now Key 2) an oldies station.
