Another North West radio veteran has died. This time Phil Easton, best known for his work on Liverpool ILR Radio City, and its sister stations Magic and City Talk.
Easton worked for Radio City on and off for thirty years, presenting various shows and enjoying much popularity around Merseyside. He most recently presented a morning show for City Talk. In the early nineties he worked away from his Liverpool base helping launch Somerset radio station Orchard FM, where he worked in various roles including Head Of Music.
Easton died after suffering a heart attack yesterday afternoon. Paying tribute, Radio City Station Director Richard Maddock told reporters: "We are deeply saddened to hear this tragic news. Phil was an astounding broadcaster and friend to everyone here at Radio City, Magic and City Talk. Our thoughts are with his family at this terrible time".
