The latest official audience figures from RAJAR confirm Capital as market-leader in London with the best audience levels in years.

"A Great Read". The Blood Banker is a great read. Fast-paced, well-plotted and always entertaining, Prever keeps you hooked from start to finish.
Suzi Becker Always knew David to be a fine talent!

Francis Currie Happy to report that the opening of the new Berlin airport has been delayed, so Tegel - one of Europe's best airports (old & scruffy but it works - and is quick in-and-out) lives a little longer.
May 16, 2012 at 4:55 pm
Michael Owen Spent several hours there a month or so ago but at least it was in the Airport Club Lounge - makes hanging round at airports vaguely more bearable.

Francis checked in at Berlin Airport.
Die Berliner Flughäfen sichern mit den Airports Schönefeld und Tegel die Luftverkehrsinfrastrukt...ur für die Hauptstadtregion Berlin-Brandenburg. Ab 2012 wird der gesamte Verkehr auf dem Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg Willy Brandt konzentriert.

The 3 'I's of gaming are: interactivity, immediacy & immersion. Does your radio station compete on these? And what are radio's USPs today?
May 14, 2012 at 8:27 am At absolutely full tilt I scraped 5K in a fraction under 25 minutes this morning ... personal best ... a good way to start a Monday, but still a long way to go to do 10K at the same pace.
Cotswolds countryside a bit damp & windy.
Badger At Breakfast Imagine - if there was no wind it could have been 24!

May 14, 2012 at 7:47 am Good luck to everyone up for an award at the Sonys tonight ... and to the organising team of what promises to be an amazing evening.
I am looking forward to attending on a stress-free basis!

Francis Currie is now friends with Thomas Campbell and Michael Pauser.
May 12, 2012 at 12:34 pm I am posting this as a motivator to get to my 10K 50 minute target ... I still have a way to go.
It was my first run out after a couple of weeks spent mainly on the road with far too many meals in hotels, restaurants & airports.
Running conditions in the Cotswolds countryside were perfect.
Uwe Schneider Men can get older with dignity and without torturing theirselves while running longer distances ;-). Cheers US

Well it's very nice to be upgraded to an enormous suite ... but do I really need three sofas, a dining table for six people, two bathrooms and a bath big enough for a party?
Je ne suis pas un rock star.
Toni McDonald Who cares? It's just STUNNING!

Never mind if you are in music radio or speech radio, you should check this out - it's a micro masterclass in building a broadcast brand.
Great stuff Valerie!
