Farewell Xfm Scotland

Jeff Zycinski | 02:35 UK time, Friday, 29 August 2008

My former Moray Firth Radio colleague (and new best chum) Jim Gellatly presented his last show for Xfm Scotland last night. The station - our near neighbours at Pacific Quay - is soon to be rebranded by its new owners and it seems they'll be chasing a different kind of listener.

These are tough times for the industry and, yes, there is a lot of rivarly between commercial radio and the BBC...but those of us who work on the wireless are always sad to see any station bite the dust.

Anyway, I spotted this very funny benind-the-scenes video on You Tube, and thought it was worth sharing with you as a kind of salute to the X men and women.

Oh...and we do exactly the same as this at BBC Radio Scotland!
