James Kerr - Radio

Andrea Jackson · 21-05-2004, 13:44

According to the website www.hallamfm.co.uk Lucio is no longer presenting the afternoon show on Hallam.

It would appear James Kerr is now a full-time presenter at Hallam.

Does that mean he's stopped freelancing at 106 Century FM in Nottingham, 96.4 BRMB in Birmingham and 97.4 Rock FM in Preston??

He was good on those stations. Glad to see him get a full-time job.
He's a good solid jock. Funny too, and talks about things anyone can relate to - no starry-eyed celebrity talk!!

What's happened to Lucio though - has he left Hallam - you can still visit his bit of the site at www.hallamfm.co.uk/nav?action=dj&id=1320 - and he's still listed on other EMAP stations websites as the Kerrang presenter.

I'm glad James Kerr returned to the EMAP fold - he's a quality presenter. I loved his old Radio City overnight shows with the games like:
Celebrity Surgery - guess the celebrity cough with Dr.Kerr
'The Things You Should Never Do' - James gives you a funny sentence, you complete the answers in a funny or original way!!

Hopefully these should return to Hallam FM!!

James Kerr - he's a good talent, and he's at a good station!

Can't get Hallam where I live (Liverpool/Merseyside area) so will have to listen online.

BTW, if anyone knows what's happened to Lucio just post here!!

It's good to have James back on air.... he left Radio City about this time a year ago and has been freelancing ever since!
Now he's at Hallam it should be good....

JAMES KERR IS BACK!

Matt00011 · 21-05-2004, 13:55

Yes, good to see James back with a full time job at Hallam FM. I always enjoyed listening to him when he was at BRMB and Beacon covering. Very layed back, slick presenter .

Clublander · 21-05-2004, 14:26

cheers for the PM headsup on this thread.

Yup hes been on all week so hopefully he's back for good, but ill try and find out some more.

As for lucio, always liked him but I guess he will be off to Kerrang 105.2 . Too good to just dissappear!

Hi I'm James

Still doing the 2 o Clock thing, 3 songs you choose around the theme I will give you daily.

Plus some awesome workplace anthems.

See ya there!!

Does that mean covering, then?

Clublander · 21-05-2004, 18:16

i read that to mean, still carrying some stuff over from lucio's show, but now youve got me instead lol.

i guess it could be either.

Matt00011 · 21-05-2004, 22:42

James Kerr is currently on the NEW BRMB at the moment presenting the 10 - 1 slot.

BTW my 100th post as a DS member

Congratulations, Matt! I was about to post about James being on brmb last night, but I should have known you'd have beaten me to it!

And before anyone asks, yes he was live in the studio!

ricki · 22-05-2004, 08:22

James is currently Covering on Hallam untill a replacement has been found for Lucio.

Lucio joins KERRANG! 105.2FM West Midlands to present his brand new drive time show from June 10th 2004

Richie_lecturer1977 · 22-05-2004, 09:05

James was on 106 Century FM this morning, standing in for Sam Pinkham at breakfast.

Clublander · 22-05-2004, 13:41

he gets about lol

Matt00011 · 22-05-2004, 17:47

Yes, that is dedication for you. Im surprised he gets much sleep with some of the work he is doing, he probably dreams about jingles!. I wonder if he makes many blunders on air, wrong station name in a link?.

doesn't James also work for 97.4 Rock FM in Preston as well as Hallam FM in Sheffield, 96.4 BRMB in Birmingham and 106 Century FM in Nottingham???

When will he get himself a full-time job rather than cover work?

He's a good all-rounder. Enjoy his shows!!
Always a good listen!

Andrea Jackson · 23-05-2004, 09:16

Oh, and the EMAP radio station websites aren't working now!!
You can't even view www.tfmradio.co.uk or save pages from any of them - www.hallamfm.co.uk and www.radiocity.co.uk have problems saving pages!!!

Andrea Jackson · 29-05-2004, 12:35

Hallam FM has swapped the schedule round yet again:

Quote:

Hallam FM Schedule
Monday
2:00am Hallam On Demand
6:00am Big John @ Breakfast
10:00am Matt Mackay
2:00pm Hallam On Demand
3:00pm James Kerr
7:00pm Phoneboy
10:00pm Nick Margerrison

Other changes to the Hallam line-up include James getting Saturday Breakfast, and Dave Bethell is now on Club Hallam, 6-8pm Saturday nights!!!

What has Hallam FM done dropping Dave Bethell off The Big Drive Home???
This new-look Hallam schedule's a bit odd!!!

ricki · 29-05-2004, 12:40

Hi People,

James Kerr is covering until the New afternoon jock starts

As you know Lucio will be doing Drive on Kerrang! 105.2 WM

Adding to This Dave Bethell has anounced he will also be joining Kerrang! 105.2 WM to present Evenings from June 10th

The new jock will start early July so James Kerr is swinging untill then this is why you may see James on Different shifts over the weekend

James will however be doing drive until our new jock starts

Clublander · 29-05-2004, 12:43

Dave Bethall is awful. absolutely awful. bland and boring and really winds me up!

Sadly, I think Dave's just off for a few days. The last week ran something like

10am - Matt
2pm - James
6pm - Phoneboy
10pm - Nick

Personally I *think* that might be how it runs on monday - I really cant see them being presenter-less between 2 and 3.

Also, Dave Bethall has done Club Hallam since Alix Pepper got networked. He took a great show from Rikki Lee and now its awful pop music (admittedly not his fault).

Hopefully Dave's gone for good, but I think hes just on holiday

Glad James has saturday breakfast, but from what ive heard - hes not at hallam permenently, just until someone replaces Lucio

Clublander · 29-05-2004, 12:45

eh, Rikki,

At the moment then, both Lucio and Dave Bethall are leaving?

And I thought youve said before James Kerr is just in for Lucio until someone new arrives... so do you mean James is in for lucio permenently, and your waiting for a new jock for Dave?

jcx · 29-05-2004, 13:30

Bethell has gone? Yay! I am not so sure about how most of the shows are four hours long, I think three hours is the right length, especially for the talk show. It all looks a bit botched while they are putting all their resources into Kerrang.

Clublander · 29-05-2004, 13:32

i think itll revert to 3 hour shows once things are sorted

ricki · 29-05-2004, 13:36

Lucio has left
Dave Bethell has left

Dave will be presenting Club Hallam Tonight (this maybe his last show don't quote me)

FACT - Dave will not be presenter Drive on Hallam FM from now, He'll be getting ready for his new gig @ Kerrang,

James Kerr is covering Afternoons

Look on the website http://www.hallamfm.co.uk monday to friday day time will stay like that with a new double header doing Drive.

this will start July

Is it a totally new double header? Or maybe a couple of old friends who may be free at the moment returning??

ricki · 29-05-2004, 15:04

erm

would love to say but can't....

There not on hallam @ the moment though

Clublander · 29-05-2004, 18:30

rikki...

can you say...

if the double act are currently working elsewhere?
if they are working together or apart?

also my opinion is that it might be a male-female double header as hallam has a distinct lack of female djs - none!

But have been in the past maybe?

If it's who I think it is, I know which station I'm going to be listening to on the web when I can in from work ;-)

Although on a Friday if it is them it's going to be like jumping universes between them and Friday Night Kiss!
