The Head Of Music at the Guardian's radio division GMG Radio, former Signal Radio breakfast show presenter Terry Underhill, is leaving the radio firm this week following a 'management structure review'. He's headed up the music operations at the group, who own the Smooth Radio, Real Radio and Rock Radio stations, since January 2007, having previously headed up regional programming and operations for GMG's Welsh and Yorkshire stations.
Confirming Underhill's departure, GMG Radio's Group PD John Simons told reporters: "Terry has contributed enormously to the success of the group. He has been a loyal employee and has shown tremendous passion and commitment to the growth of the business. We wish Terry every success in the future and he goes with our best wishes".
I'm not sure why I mentioned the fact that Underhill previously worked for Signal Radio in Stoke On Trent, except I've been trying to find an excuse for mentioning this epic Signal jingle - which comes from the era when Underhill worked for the station I think - since I stumbled across it a few weeks back. The king of cheesy radio jingles, I reckon.
