Missed the report myself, but I understand that Ian Stirling has died.
For those of you that didn't know him, he was a VERY popular in-vision continuity announcer on TSW. He then moved to do things for Westcountry Television.
There's a clip of him on
this page courtesy of TV Ark.
With deepest respect, I don't think alot of people would know who he is (including young TSW viewers and everybody else outside the TSW area)
I appreciate that, but there are a lot of people on here that do remember TSW, and how it fought to remain a real local station. And those that do remember him, will remember him with great fondness.
Remember it's just hear say at the moment as we don't have any official to go by but let's keep it into context please. Otherwise you will be getting people going on about how healthy is Fred Dinenage, how long will he have left etc.
That's so sad if its true... I'd imagine "Auntie" Judi Spiers will know something if she's been told - and she might have something to say on her Radio Devon show tomorrow. I'm keeping an ear out on Radio Devon online to hear if there's any news.
