'Another presenter to inherit the
late night phone in show from Century 106 in the East Midlands. He also
conducted a lunch time phone-in between 1300 and 1400.
Adrian
continued with the ‘spades a spade’ theme and generally didn’t mince words
on any issue, commendably he never swore (on air anyway!)
A
couple of his more notable phrases have been ‘Scum sucking pond life’ to
describe criminals and others disliked and ‘shandy drinking southerners’
which is an opinion on people south of somewhere (!)
As
well as Century 106 Adrian presented on both the Manchester (105.4FM) and
Newcastle (100.7 and 101.8) arms of the empire. Added to this he has been at the
following – Aire FM, BRMB, Buzz FM, City Radio, Hallam FM, Liberty Radio, BBC
Newcastle, Rock FM, TFM and Wear FM.'
From October 2000, Adrian became the late-night talk show host at Real Radio based in South Wales which attracted all kinds of attention.
UPDATE:
18th April 2002: Real Radio's Talk Show host Adrian Allen's contract
has not been renewed. Adrian has been with the station since it launched
originally in South Wales in October 2000, as Real Radio's late night phone in
host, and has gained a loyal following carried over from his work on the East
Midlands regional Century 106.
The official line from Real Radio is that his contract has come to and end and
they have decided not to renew it. Simon Parkin is currently presenting a music
show in the weekday 10pm - 1am slot. A future review will be carried out in due
course, as happens on a regular basis with all shows on the station to ensure
they are always performing well for both the listeners and advertisers.
Ironically buses in the area were still displaying adverts for the show,
advertising The Adrian Allen Late Show from 10 - 1, until they pull the plug -
now they have...
Whereabouts: Er ..... time for a new job Adrian ....
