Podcast appearances and mentions of keith skues

L'histoire agitée d’une radio 'pop' lancée en 1967 par la BBC pour récupérer les millions de jeunes scotchés aux ondes pirates : Radio One. Pendant près de trente ans, (BBC) Radio One sera la station la plus effervescente, aimée et écoutée d’outre-Manche. Comme le raconta l’un de ses animateurs de la première heure, Keith Skues : « En 67 j’avais 28 ans, Londres et la culture jeune étaient en pleine ébullition et je sentais que je venais d’atterrir au centre de l'univers : j’y jouerai de la nouvelle musique à des millions de personnes et rencontrerai des tas de gens, des Beatles à Jimi Hendrix en passant par Cliff Richards ou les Animals. Lors du lancement, nous étions tous dans le même bateau, des jeunes gens partant à l’aventure, de fabuleux collègues qui seront mes amis pour la vie, dont bien sûr John Peel ». John Peel dont le style, celui de la confidence défricheuse, autant que les 'lives' qu’il enregistrait (ces fameuses 'Peel sessions' qui accueilleront Pink Floyd, Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Clash, les Beatles, David Bowie ou The Lemonheads) deviendront culte. --- Olivier Monssens poursuit son exploration des mouvements, personnalités et phénomènes libertaires, contre-culturels ou de contestation (au sens large) qui ont tenté de changer le cours des choses et ont parfois apporté de vraies révolutions dans les idées, la société, la vie, abordés par thèmes illustrés d'archives belges et internationales. Il sillonnera désormais toutes les époques : celles qui furent le creuset de tant d’utopies toujours, mais aussi les années 80, 90 et jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Le samedi entre midi et 13h sur Classic 21. --- ''Radio Caroline'' avec Olivier Monssens de midi à 13h tous les samedis sur Classic 21.

Jamie East tells RadioToday’s Stuart Clarkson about his decision to leave talkRADIO, the state of talk radio in the UK and his successful daily podcast The Smart 7.

27th September 2020 saw Keith Skues hit the stab on Mr Tambourine Man for the final time, as his 500th show marked the end of his broadcasting career at the BBC, aged 81.  As he previewed some of the songs to come, he conceded that he might not fit them all in. Last shows can be like that.  Other choice moments included: “Are you familiar with a gentleman called Tim Davie?” “Keith: ‘Why should I be?” His 60-year career included: the British Forces Network in Cologne; pirate radio on board Caroline and London; BBC Radio 1 at its launch; programme director of Radio Hallam; and a long spell in BBC Local Radio. His farewell show was broadcast across local radio in the East of England across BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, BBC Essex, BBC Radio Lincolnshire, BBC Radio Norfolk, BBC Radio Northampton, BBC Radio Suffolk and BBC Three Counties Radio. Ten minutes before the end, hear him express his regret for never finding a wife. Anyone who knows how Keith works know how well he prepares each show.  There are moments here he clearly couldn’t. 

The History of Offshore Radio Jingles was a brilliant collaboration between Keith Skues (photo credit Offshore Echoes) and the Society of Jingles and Themes in Breda. We take a listen. The top end of the shortwave receiver market has slowed. So, we look review the AKD Target HF-3.  We talked to the station manager of IBC, a new station aimed at Sri Lankan Tamils from London. They have hired airtime from World Radio Network. Victor Goonetilleke has other media news from South East Asia. The extensive Radio Australia budget cuts have been announced.

He is one of a generation of broadcasters who witnessed radio’s incredible journey from the pirates to the present day: from AM to DAB.  In this hour of #radiomoments ‘Conversations', Keith Skues MBE AE tells of his love of the Light Programme which led to a foray into Forces Radio. The BBC beckoned, before Keith jumped on board the pirate Caroline. After a spell at Luxembourg, he was back out at sea on board the respected Radio London. Keith was amongst the early recruits on the new BBC Radio 1 in ‘67, and was heard on Radio 1 and 2 for many years, before leaving to head programming at Sheffield’s new Radio Hallam where he was to spend 21 years. After a spell in the Forces during the ‘first’ Gulf War, there came a disappointing return to an enlarged Yorkshire Radio Network. Keith was to return to radio with the BBC, where he is now still heard on local radio. In his own words , this is the Keith Skues story.

In 1964 a 'pirate' radio station began broadcasting from a ship off the coast of England, in defiance of British law. Keith Skues was one of the first DJs on Radio Caroline.
