PrimeTime Radio
PrimeTime Radio was a national UK radio station. Launched in 2000, it was part of Saga Radio Group until it became independent in 2004. It operated as a sister station to Saga Digital radio. The line up featured a variety of presenters including David Hamilton, Don Durbridge, David Allan, Dave Cash, Gavin McCoy, Tony Myatt and Sheila Tracy. Music played on the station was melodic from the previous six decades. PrimeTime used jingles that were reminiscent of those common in the mid-1960s.
PrimeTime radio won an award for Best Digital Terrestrial Station at the 2004 Sony Radio Awards ceremony.
The Chairman of PrimeTime Radio, Roger De Haan announced in November 2005 that he was withdrawing PrimeTime Radio from DAB digital radio from May 2006 when its multiplex licence with Digital One ended. It continued on Sky channel 0132, NTL channel 871 and online at primetimeradio.org for a few weeks, carrying repeats of previous programming, before being withdrawn from these services on 2 June 2006.
