Former Radio City broadcaster Pete Price is joining the recently launched In Demand Decades.

He’ll be back in the time slot he made famous for over 40 years in the city – Sunday nights from 10pm till 1am starting on February the 9th.
The show won’t be his signature live phone-in but will feature music and interviews with celebrities, politicians, influencers, including, the station says, people who have shaped the world we live in today.
He will re-live some of his best phone in moments from over the years and present the Peaceful Hour from Midnight – another feature he did on Radio City.
Pete Price said “I am thrilled to be joining the team at In Demand Decades. The radio business has changed lots over the years but getting the chance to do local radio in the area I built my career, is a dream.
“I’m also excited about being back on Sunday nights in the time slot I’m most known for.
“I can’t wait to get started.”
