Here in Kathy’s own words is the story behind the book: −
“Radio City provided the soundtrack to many people's lives in the 1970s and 1980s, as it does today. Yet, until now, no-one has told the story of how this iconic radio station began and how it built a place in listeners' hearts. I was one such listener. It took a shock discovery in 2002 which sent my mind back to a time in the 1970s when Radio City inspired in me an obsessive devotion to music, record collecting, disc jockeys, and request writing.
“I hope, in fact I’m sure you will find the book amusing, insightful, and full of fresh stories from the people who made Radio City great, including Mark Jones, Norman Thomas, Johnny Kennedy, Johnny Jason, Dave Lincoln and many others.
“However, as well as being a history of those early days, the book is also an affecting and engaging story of rediscovery of youth, and the people and music that meant so much to me.
“I hope this book will be of interest to the many thousands of people who tuned into 194 Radio City, and made it such a success. In the early years, Radio City covered a very wide listening area, from Liverpool and the Wirral to North Wales, Blackpool, Warrington and even Manchester. It’s been a tremendous adventure to write this book, and to seek out and speak to so many of the wonderful people who helped make 194 such a great radio station.”
DJ Mark Jones says "A great read, it's full of spot-on, perfectly remembered stories... that I'd either forgotten about or spent years denying!!"
