I used to love listening to Radio Lux & Radio Caroline.
When I was a teeny bopper my best mate and I used to sit on the door step for hours listening to some of the best music ever.

Aaah, Alan Freeman and Dave Lee Travis, I used to love listening to them on the radio. Tony Blackburn has quite a lucrative career since being on I'm a Celebrity-Get me out of here. He appears on the telly quite a lot.

Kenny Everett had a radio DJ show.

Anyone remember George Elrick who used to do Housewife's Choice in the 40s and 50s? In the 60s they had a different presenter on that show every week, one of which was Ken Dodd.
