OK, it's been revealed that John Fox AKA Foxy will be launching his Breakfast Show on NRG Radio across the Black Country and Shropshire in March 2021 once it moves to DAB, along with numerous other ex-Wireless group/UTV Radio/Bauer DJ's. It'll be run by former longstanding Signal 1 presenter Stu Haycock.
I feel this will be quite refreshing amidst the current sea of identical local radio stations now broadcasting.
Didn't Fire Radio in Dorset used to be called NRG before NRJ in France tried to sue them for using their trademark?
It did - it was 107.6 The NRG (pronounced on air as The Energy). The original imaging is on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/moogproductions/nrg-idents-sweepers-and-promos-1999
As for this new NRG station, it's odd that it's appearing on the Wolves/Shropshire multiplex rather than Stoke-on-Trent. It's likely to do with the different multiplex ownership - Wolves is a NOW Digital multiplex while Stoke is Bauer. I've read elsewhere how reluctant Bauer seem to be to allow non-Bauer stations onto their multiplexes.

"Foxy won't be returning to the Breakfast Show."...The Breakfast Show will be a lot poorer due to Foxy departing - even though they say the silliness and local stuff will continue, it hasn't seemed the same the last 3 days to me. Foxy had a huge personality and comical/controversial views and championed local causes and local business, which is now sadly lacking. He will be missed.
If anyone knows which station he is working for in the future, please drop us a message.
