> Tracing former members of Radio Bailrigg

Posted: 1st November 2005

The aim of this section of the website is to chart as many former members of Radio Bailrigg as possible, along with the positions they held (from a Presenter or Mancom's "Coffee Monitor", right up to the Director/Station Manager and his/her Assistant) and the year they held that position.

It is certainly not an exhaustive list, but it has been compiled through a mixture of articles, schedules and the mammoth resignations folder, hence the varying levels of accuracy. If you notice any errors in this list please let us know. Also, if you can help identify any of the mystery people, at the bottom of the list, with question marks against their names, or if you or anyone you know are/is missing from the list, please contact us.
