Paul started his radio interests back in the early 80’s shortly after quitting his very successful mobile disco which he had run since 1974. Everybody locally knew of Paul’s desire to work ‘on the radio’.
Inspired by the newly launched Mercia Sound in Coventry, Paul, Dave Bedford and Peter Russell built their very own ‘closed circuit’ radio station at Paul’s home in Hinckley town centre. Although the programmes were never heard live, they were recorded and played to several factories at the time.
It was in 1989 that Paul approached Hinckley hospital to set up Castle Mead Radio. The rest as they say is history, and by November 1990 Paul achieved the goal of setting up his first radio station.
Paul was very active in the trial broadcasts of Fosseway radio in 1996 from the studios of Castle Mead Radio. His local knowledge and contacts made him invaluable to the local team that was working to give Hinckley its very own local radio station. By 1998 Fosseway won its licence and went on air in November. Paul presented Saturday nights and weekday evenings.
Today Paul presents a very popular Wednesday morning Show called ‘Open House’ which contains competitions, chat, “kids corner”, local news headlines and what’s on.
