DJ Tony is shoved over for Cliff
What a truly fantastic PR stunt – DJ Tony Blackburn suspended for playing too many Cliff Richard records. The scam is in all the papers this morning. A PR person can do no wrong when they use Sir Cliff as a muse because, as we all know, everyone loves a Cliff tale. So – set up an internal row down at Classic Gold between studio bosses and the Blackburn, and the old digital station gets some ink. The ink might turn into some new listeners if they can find the station, and the breakfast show might keep the new devotees for the rest of the day. We’ll see.
