Neil O'Hara

BSc Economics, 1973

Neil remembers being a programme engineer on Warwick's radio station in the 1970s when it was based in ‘The Shed’ next to Rootes D Block. His job was to have everything ready for the radio presenter. On one occasion, the presenter for a pop music programme never showed up, so he had to go on instead when he had to scramble between the studio and the storage cabinet to find a new song to play before the one I had just launched was over.

The programme director liked his show enough that he offered him a slot for the follow term, which he called O’Hara’s Hour. Read more of his memories here.
