Part 1 – TEAM: Its Only Radio

John Myers in conversation about his brand new book, TEAM: Its Only Radio, with John Simons doing the grilling.

Currently the Chair of the Sony Radio Academy Awards, John’s radio career needs little introduction.

Think Morgan in the Morning, Century Radio, GMG Radio, Chief Executive of The Radio Academy, Chairman of the Sony Radio Academy Awards, Chairman of the Arqiva Commercial Radio Awards, the Myers Report and Myers Media, plus so much more. This man is quite literally an immense figure in radio.

Hear all about life, laughter and the radio business from one of the great minds and great storytellers in the business.

Part 2 – The North East Breakfast Battle (Round 1)

It’s been a big year of change for North East Breakfast Radio, so we’ve decided to put some of the North East’s big hitters in a room together for the first time to discuss the turbulent world of breakfast radio.

Metro Radio’s Steve Furnell (Steve and Karen), Real Radio’s Gary Philipson (Gary & Lisa), Wayne from Tfm and Capital FM’s Bodg (Bodg, Matt and JoJo) are among the guests who will face questions from John Myers, from the audience in a live Q&A and from each other.

No punches will be pulled, Breakfast Radio is a battle and, in an ever changing landscape, who will win out?

Bring your boxing gloves and support your own champ.

This will be round one of the Breakfast Battle with future events being planned to include more of the region’s breakfast talent.

This promises to be a fascinating event and is totally FREE.

We look forward to seeing you there!
