FRANK BROEDERS

My name is Frank Broeders and i'm living in Holland together with my girlfriend Fen. I started my radio career setting up some local and regional stations in the south of Holland.
 
As student I had lot's of freetime that made it possible for me to work as program director and DJ for some radiostations. Formats on the stations were very different Top40, oldies, rock and hardcore techno.
As child I did fall in love with music and that love is still growing.

When the working life started time to be involved with radio became less and less. But im still interested in radio and like to listen to all kinds of stations from all over the world. For my work I need to travel around from time to time and try to visit the stations.
 
I'm very happy to be part of Replay Radio and promise to make some exciting programs. It will be a journey through all kinds of music. Only 1 rule for the music that is played is that it is the best of the best.

GRAHAM COLLINS

Never far from a microphone, Graham Collins joins Replay to ensure you get your weekly fix of classic hits, ‘It’s a bit like being asked to play your iPod very, very loudly in a crowded place and have some fun doing it’ says Graham. 

His only concern is that Rodney and Richard might think he’s pinched their names!

RICHARD TODD
THE CLASSIC RETRO CHART

The Classic Retro Countdown is your chance to re-live those classic chart countdowns from the days when the Top 40 show was good and "must listen" radio. Each week we take a classic UK Top 40 singles chart from the current week in retro chart history, count down the Top 40 songs and play as many of those memories as we can squeeze into the two hours.

Check out the show times and the radio stations where you can catch the show to remember those classic
memories and maybe re-live some of those songs that may have passed you by first time around.

MARTIN O'BRIEN

Born and  Bred in Cork, the second largest city in Ireland.  Known to Corkonians as ''The Peoples Republic of Cork''.  Worked on various pirates in the 80's including C.C.L.R , South Coast Radio (North  Main St.) and my own favourite Radio Caroline Cork.  Taking a completely different career route , I always maintained a huge love of radio and could be classed as an Anorak. 

My music is mainly 80's classics with golden nuggets from the 60s and 70s .  So stayed tuned.

BLAKE WILLIAMS - SOUNDS OF ENCHANTMENT

Born in a Southern Arizona in 1958, Blake is the son of a cotton farmer.  At age 12, he began hanging out at the one and only little AM (medium wave) station in his home town of Casa Grande.  On his 13th birthday, the staff let him do a 2 hour radio program introducing records and reading commercials.  That is where his career began working every day after school and both days on weekends.    Blake worked in Tucson the same week high school wrapped up in 1976.  He worked at a top 40 AM station during the week and on weekends he did a couple of shifts on the only FM rocker, KWFM.  Soon after he moved to Phoenix to work at the heritage rocker, KDKB and eventually KUPD.   

He left the deserts of Arizona to join up with the Laser team and ended up working with Radio Caroline doing afternoons.  From England the next stop was Guam for several years in the 1980s then back to Tucson to be Chief Engineer and an Announcer at KKLD.  In 1994, due to health challenges, he stopped working full time and has been doing free-lance production for radio and TV stations around the globe.Still undergoing chemotherapy, Blake lives in the high deserts of New Mexico on 5.5 acres with his horses and many dogs.  The “Sounds of Enchantment” is produced in his home studio near Route 66 and relates the southwestern feel in the program.  It's eclectic Enchantment. 

JOHNNY REECE - THE ALBUM ZONE

Johnny Reece has been broadcasting his Album Zone programme for various stations over the past 10 years or so, to the UK, USA, Netherlands, France, and Slovakia. According to which particular source of information you read, Reece was born in either 1966, 1962, or 1958. However, when very drunk, he has attempted to claim he was born in 1973. Perhaps he doesn't know. I say this, because I asked him, and he said "I don't know". This is, of course, a lie.

What isn't a lie is the fact that he has been buying Music since he was 7, boasts a personal collection of over 20,000 Albums (running his own Record Shop in the past did rather help that) and still helps out on the production side at a record company, in between writing the odd song here and there for friends Bands. 'Odd' being the operative word, he insists. And the rest, as they say, is hysterical. What of his Shows for Replay ? Well, you'll hear Album tracks covering at least 50 years. Anything from new and forthcoming releases, back to the halcyon days of Album Rock from 60s to 80s, and the occasional nod into the Rock n Roll era too, if the mood takes. If he thinks it's good, it goes in. That's the rule.

If he ever won the lottery, (very often in his thoughts), he would "spend it on Toys and Sweets".
