Richard Spendlove MBE
The formation of this web site gives me yet another platform through
which to offer my personal thanks to the thousands of loyal listeners, who
have - for almost twenty years - supported my work on Regional and Local
Radio.
My career really began the night I was given a Saturday evening 'late-night
chat-show' that began in the county of Cambridgeshire. It surprised everyone
by the way it gathered pace and established me, not only in that county, but
also throughout the South and East of England.
The award of the MBE, for my work, was a spectacular culmination to those
with which my broadcasting work had already been graced, and I shall NEVER
be able to repay my listeners for the honours they have caused to be
bestowed upon me.
I have said, many times, privately and in public that I have the kind of
listeners that many radio presenters would die for. If I may, I would like
to raise my glass and drink a toast, to those, without whose inspiration,
loyalty and support, I would have 'vanished without trace' a very long time
ago.
