Danny Baker hits the radio hustings Danny Baker hits the radio hustings
(5 months later)
Irascible DJ Danny Baker has engaged in a bit of rabble rousing against the "pinheaded weasels" at the BBC ahead of the Sony Radio Academy awards later this month. Sony has introduced a new category, the golden headphones award, where the public vote for their favourite radio presenter. Baker, who unloaded on-air after his BBC London radio show was axed, has turned to Twitter to drum up votes. "Boy, if people went here & voted for me & then I won this it'd be really embarrassing for certain radio controllers. http://www.sonygoldenheadphones.com," he tweeted. If the 360 retweets and 67 "favorites" and counting are any indication of voting habits, Baker's plan could work out very nicely indeed come awards night on 13 May.Irascible DJ Danny Baker has engaged in a bit of rabble rousing against the "pinheaded weasels" at the BBC ahead of the Sony Radio Academy awards later this month.
