Rick to stay on at Magic 105.4

27th August 2010

Magic 105.4 have asked Rick to stay with the station until the end of the year. Rick has really settled into his new job as Radio DJ. His show has been broadcast on Sunday afternoons between 2 and 4pm.

"I've been having an absolutely brilliant time on my Magic 105.4 show and I'm really enjoying being in the hot seat as a radio DJ. I jumped at the opportunity when the Magic team asked me to extend my residency in the Sunday afternoon show. I've got lots of plans for the show - more celebrity guests, lots of listener requests and plenty more tunes to play!"

Pete Simmons, Programme Director for Magic 105.4 says "We have been inundated by requests and messages to Rick from our listeners who love his down to earth style and genuine love of music. We always knew Rick had the potential to be a great Magic 105.4 DJ and hoped he would love being a DJ so much that he'd agree to stay on. We're now delighted to announce he will be extending his stay with The Rick Astley Show."

Recently Magic asked it's audience to vote on their 3 favourite tracks of the 80s. The voting has now finished and the full Top 50 chart will be revealed by Rick over the August Bank Holiday.
