The station that kicked off my radio career, BurnFM.com, was in the papers last month thanks to a story about two presenters and a claim they made about Kristina O’Connor (Des O’Connor’s daughter, also a final year student at Birmingham University).
I can’t really make much comment about this for the time being, other than to say the comments in question were made in reference to this article printed in the student newspaper at Birmingham University, Redbrick (note that the article is incomplete and missing the relevant images referred to by the media). In addition, contrary to some reports, It was only broadcast online and in October, not December as reported.
What I can do is provide the links: The original story, published in print on p11 of the Thursday edition of the Daily Mail on December 18th is available here.
There was a follow-up article published on the 22nd, which you can find here.
It was also reported online by:
The Daily Sport also ran the story as the frontpage of their 19th December issue, along with a fuller panel on page 15 (which is not available online).
If you’ve got any comments about what happened, please leave them below.
