Two event stations - but big names go

Manx Radio T.T. will offer event radio stations for both the T.T. and the Festival of Motorcycling for the next two years, but some big names have gone from the commentary line-up.

Charlie Lambert will no longer be the anchor commentator, a position he has held since 2004. Hewill be replaced by Manx Radio Sports Editor Tim Glover.

And after 24 years, Charlie Williams will not be presenting his T.T. chat shows - Chris Kinley will take over the morning role.

The deal for the events has been agreed and signed by the Department of Economic Development and Manx Radio.

Manx Radio Managing Director Anthony Pugh says it is with much sadness that the changes have had to be made, but everyone is having to cut their cloth in difficult economic times:-
