From his beginnings as a young press journalist, Ralph Bernard rose through the radio ranks as a programmer, and then senior executive, to lead what became the UK’s largest radio group. He played a key role at GWR in early consolidation, brokered the deals which brought Classic FM to air and headed GCap in challenging and conflicted times. From his triumphs to his disappointments, this is the forty year story of Ralph Bernard’s life in radio - in his own words.
