1126: Joe Fish tribute - BBC Radio Lancashire

Radio is now pretty good in saying goodbye to its family. It knows that, for many listeners, presenters have become part of their family – and a fitting tribute is warranted. BBC Radio Lancashire’s Joe Fish, CMA International Broadcaster Of The Year 2008, died in January 2016. This is the programme devoted to his memory, in which listeners, colleagues and family showed their fondness and recognition. Joe had joined the Fire Service, aged 18, motivated by stories of being rescued by fireman as a baby from a house fire. 31 years of service followed, alongside a keen involvement in Country music and around forty years serving the genre’s radio.
