Radio Kent
Meridian Hospital Radio
Tony White 1950 - 2003
One of the most experienced broadcasters at Meridian Radio, Tony first
joined the station in 1973 but despite various prolonged absences due
to career commitments, he just kept coming back. His wide ranging musical
tastes encompass everything from jazz and blues to rock, pop and the
Classics. He worked as a journalist and broadcaster in both commercial
and BBC radio. Tony also produced and researched TV documentaries. After
working as a club DJ, Tony said he learned to be a radio presenter at
Meridian Radio. There is a subtle difference, he said. Radio is a medium
where you have an unseen audience and it is up to you to create the
atmosphere. As someone once said, radio is a much more visual medium
than TV. The pictures are better. It is the presenter's job to paint
them. For 9 years Tony presented the Meridian Radio show on Thursday night's
at The Empire with his old friend, colleague and musical soulmate Mike
Bartlett. Sadly Tony died on 30th May 2004. I had not seen him often over the
last 15 years he had been a good friend and partner during the sixites
running a portable disco unit for weddings and parties. Some of the
club residents including myself, (Steve Jennings, Pauline Snow-(fitzgerald) & Andy Melmore) often played live
for the stations folk program. He leaves a widow Sally, and two children
David and Lucy. This is my memorial to Tony.
Photograph May 2003 : By Steve Taplin (Stevi Tee. Disc jockey) who also ran the
disco unit with us.
