I got chatting to a lovely elderly couple in a pub (in Dublin) the other day. It turns out they both worked in RTE radio from the 60s to the 90s. They spoke of how radio improved dramatically and things at RTE improved during the eighties. They put all the improvements down to two men: Chris Cary and Robbie Robinon! They said how the RTE set up was so stagnant for years and then Chris and Robbie came on the scene and, basically, gave RTE such a kick in the arse! I would have loved to chat longer with them as they were telling great yarns about top people in Montrose pulling their hair out over Nova and Sunshine. Oh how we laughed!! There must be loads of these ex RTE people out there with great stories to tell. Also the watched the Nova tribute on 3 and loved it!
