Last time this happened, he said he'd start an online radio show to take its place. As a former producer for an internet station I'm not sure that he realises how much of a big step down that would be.
The costs are very low but its beneath him to be broadcasting to a hundred people and using ghetto equipment like Skype for phone-ins. |

Last time it happened wasn't it to do with the world cup (football) ?
There are two fiasco's happening this summer, one in London, the other in Poland and Ukraine.
Maybe it's tied in with these .. |

The weekly talkSPORT shows here get a pretty consistent 700 downloads. Also, the PressTV shows get more views from here than from the PressTV site itself. But that's by the by...
Bearing in mind this is a backwater that doesn't get much direct web publicity, I reckon GG could get close to 10000 hits for a weekly show; if it was promoted on his facebook page and linked properly via itunes. |

| With GG not being on tonight, I'm guessing that last week's show might well have been the last edition. |

I think so. Last night I first tried 5 live, don't like Nolan, never really did. Then radio 4 had a repeat of something that I heard in the week, radio 1 had some paul oakenfold lounge techno ;)~ can't remember what radio 2 had, so I settled for radio 3.
If anyone has any good alternative friday night listening, don't keep it to yourself ... |
