Great news Mr llsley back on radio was disappointed when he was forced out of that station which I voiced to management great to have this broadcaster back on radio all the best to him and the 1080 I like the comment Chris age will bring the age down at the station regards
It just wasnt the same without you Chris.
I dont listen to 6pr now, the whole format
makes my head ache. Its like the new man
cant shut up, and the bits of music are simply irritating. Good luck in all you do,
You deserve the best.
Ps. On previous comment, I do listen to some others on 6pr, just NOT your programme. I think big mistake!
Brilliant news, good call 6iX…looking forward to listening to you again Chris. Hopefully we get to hear you more than just Sunday nights.😉
I just love listening to Chris Ilsley on 6ix on Sunday nights. Great music choices and good chat. 6PR’s loss is 6ix’s gain!
