Christian.

Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Every week on the show, we do someone called The Golden Year.

We go back to a year and then we play the one second winner.

One second of a big songs from that year.

Today we go back to 2003.

Patsy, were you on Nova, 2003?

I was. Yeah, I'd been on there a couple of years. What a great station that was when it launched. Now it's one of the worst in the world. That's official. But it was an incredible. My old boss got poached from the UK to fly out here and run Nova. But Nova, the first couple of years, was incredible. That must have been really exciting. It was because it's not every day. Like, we all knew it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. You don't always get to be at the launch of a brand new radio station. No, I've only done it once before my career. It's so exciting, isn't it? How do you start a new radio station? From the bottom. Literally the first break. Do you have to go to the government and say we want one more radio station?

You buy the line. a new radio station. From the bot, from the ground up. Literally the first break. Do you go, do you have to go to the government and say we want one more radio station?

You buy the license.

Yeah.

There's a few more frequencies in there not being used.

And there's like a bidding process and stuff like that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And then I have to do someone called a promise of performance.

But this is not a question that is any way illuminating and or interesting. Put it on the Radio Wars podcast with Craig Bruce.

So Jack was just 15.

Oh, wow, Jack.

Yeah, I was in year 10.

I was just running I turned 30 in 2003.

As I'm turning 30, you're in year 10.
