Paul Buckle

Apologies to you all, but I'm fed up with the adverts, random posts, rants, bonkers conspiracy theories and the general air of "free for all" lunacy, which has completely ruined this platform for me. I'm off. Follow if you like paulbuckle.bsky.social stay safe and sane !

50 years of broadcasting from Kiltonga in Newtownards has come to an end. Thanks to @JRRadioNI for doing the honours @downtownradio

Great piece of audio production just after 1pm today on @downtownradio as they move from the studios at Kiltonga, Newtownards, their home since 1976, to Belfast Harbour's City Quays 3

@herobelfast @MauriceJay 🤣

@MauriceJay The things you do...🤣🤣🤣

@RonanGKelly Jippo on a Saturday night at the Savoy in Bangor was our 'go to' venue. Downtown beermats for requests, a chance to buy burgers whilst the news was on! A pure quality DJ and always a great night.

Do you have a child aged 7-13 who loves Steve Backshall, animals, and CBBC's Deadly 60? They have a chance to ask Steve a question via video! Film 10-15" of them asking their question to camera. No school uniforms/brands/logos on clothes. Don't use full names in videos (1/2)

@CameronYardeJnr Must be an age thing, I was exactly the same!

I remember the Radio Times trailer advertising the BBC2 horror double bill. The classic cover featured Night Of The Demon & The Ghoul but it was the 1st one that really caught my eye. Saw it as a kid and I was hooked. This film is a classic. Watch it! Record it! Don't miss it!

@carlosradioguy 6 years? Wow. Where does time go?

6 years ago today in the early hours I walked into @global HQ in Leicester Sq & proudly launched @heart70s I was so excited & that excitement never wanes. After 43 years behind a mic I love being on the radio more than ever. Thanks for listening (if you do) & I’m on now! C x

@thebowlerhatman They have a new single "I love the 80s" which will stir many a memory. #popgoestheworld

What a Fabulous song this is...

Here is a box, a musical box, wound up and ready to play. But this box can hide a secret inside, can you guess what is in it today?

"Happy Retirement Vibes" 📺

26 June 2025. TVARK sends its best wishes to BBC Northern Ireland continuity announcer David Olver who is working his final shift at Belfast after more than 47 years.

Wie ich in der „Zeitmaschine“ auf NDR1 NDS höre, liefen heute vor 55 Jahren erstmals Verkehrsmeldungen in einem deutschen Radioprogramm. NDR2 brachte diesen Service zunächst für die Sommerferien, ab 1972 wurde der Verkehrsfunk eine regelmäßige Einrichtung. 📻

🟦 CLEAN FEED | And that's a wrap. After 47.5 years in broadcasting, continuity director/announcer David Olver signs off for the final time, with one final closedown. >> VIDEO HERE: cleanfeed.thetvroom.com/22742/news/dav…

Time for bed 🛏️

@CeriBurniston Will do Ceri 👍

@Paul__Buckle Can you wish David all the best from us EDs please Paul.

Last tea-break with my legendary colleague David Olver who "escapes" on Thursday, a well known voice here on the NI airwaves for many, many, years (can't say how many, he's still beside me 😂).

This is surprising news. Watched a lot of Yentob era Arena and his late 80s/early 90s era of BBC2 was pretty special. BBC News - BBC arts broadcaster Alan Yentob dies aged 78 bbc.com/news/articles/…

93% of podcast listening hours are from people listening on their own. Worth noting when you choose your language. A radio truism, amplified in the case of podcasts.
