Piccadilly Radio 261
Piccadilly was the pioneering and fearless radio station which launched the careers of national personalities such as Chris Evans, Timmy Mallett, Gary Davis, Mark Radcliffe, Andy Crane, Steve Penk and Andy Peebles, plus a host of journalists , TV and film producers, businessmen and women and entrepreneurs.
At the same time, it discovered and nurtured local personalities who had never worked in radio before such as Susie Mathis, Phil Wood, Dave Ward, Mike Shaft, James Stannage, Mike Sweeney, Becky Want, James H Reeve and Stu Allan. They all became a huge part of listeners’ daily lives.
