Tonight at 9pm, Mixing It - the Radio 3 music show presented by Mark Russell and Robert Sandall and broadcast for 17 years until it was axed in 2007 - returns in a new weekly slot. It's not on Radio 3 this time, but on the very splendid Resonance FM, available online or, in London, at 104.4FM. The new show is called Where's The Skill In That?
I know it clashes with The Apprentice, but do give it a listen.
This return is great news for fans of the old show, and further evidence of how brilliant Resonance is. What we could do with, as well as the big players and their digital radio plans, are more kooky, niche stations like Resonance FM doing their own thing with admirable zeal and just for the love of it.
All of this got me thinking about which radio shows could, and should, make a comeback. Which programme, or presenter, do you miss from the airwaves most, and why? And who or what would you bring back, if you were in charge of the radio world for a day?
