The Tynwald select committee investigating the future of public service broadcasting has appointed a consultant to carry out a review of Manx Radio.
Radio executive, consultant and presenter John Myers was the author of a report on the future of local radio in the UK which was published by the UK’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport in April 2009.
He will be remembered by many in the Isle of Man for this time as a continuity announcer with Border Television in the 1980s.
He was famous for his sense of humour and his appearances with ‘Eric the Monkey’ on Border Birthdays.
Since then he moved into Border’s radio division and later to the Guardian Media Group’s radio section when, as well as having executive roles, he presented as ‘John Morgan’.
