SPIN 1038/98fm: Day 2

Nikki Hayes
 This morning we went straight up to Nikki Hayes, who presents SPIN Hits. She is a familiar voice on the Irish radio scene and has been working on-air for over 20 years. Nikki presented on SPIN after it launched in 2002, and left for 2fm, before returning to the Dublin station in recent times. She explained various elements of her job and talked to us about our ambitions in radio.


Next, we met Pat Gill. He is in charge of imaging on 98fm. Though the word suggests his job deals with pictures, this is far from the truth. Pat produces all of the jingles and sweepers that are played between the songs. He played us examples of his work and told us about various techniques which are used to get listeners to constantly remind listeners that they are tuned to 98fm. This becomes essential when the listenership figures are published.
