FIND OUT MOREMancunian broadcasting heavyweights Mike Sweeney, Steve Berry and James H Reeve are getting ready to rock this month, as Manchester's newest radio station goes live.
Owned by GMG Radio - which also owns Century Radio and Smooth Radio in the North West - 106.1 Rock Radio is aimed at rock lovers aged 35+, and promises a 'real Mancunian edge'.
Salford-born Sweeney will host the drive-time show, with classic tracks from a wide range of artists, from Led Zeppelin to U2 and from Thin Lizzy to Queen.
Berry, a former Top Gear presenter, will be hosting the breakfast show on weekdays, while Reeve, another seasoned Mancunian broadcaster, will take over on weekends.
They will be joined by Canadian DJ The Moose and veteran broadcaster Paul Anthony from Signal Radio in Stoke, among others.
Rock Radio is launching on May 5 after an open-air rock gig in Manchester's Cathedral Gardens, featuring Bad Company, Gun and Salford Jets.
There was speculation that it might be a 24-hour concert, but Manchester's tribute to the great late Tony Wilson - the music mogul behind Factory Records and the Hacienda - is actually going to be a 24-hour conversation.
Peter Saville, Liam Spencer, Steve Coogan, Ben Kelly, Peter Hook, and Mark Radcliffe are just some of the famous creatives who have pledged their support to the Tony Wilson Experience this summer.
Billed as Manchester's longest intelligent conversation, the event will take place at Urbis on June 21. It will see 24 of the biggest names in the creative industries, media, design and the arts embark on a 24-hour discussion and debate before a selected audience of up to 200 young creative people from across the city and beyond.
Funded by Manchester City Council, it is hoped that the Tony Wilson Experience will form the basis for future events in memory of the man who was nicknamed 'Mr Manchester'.
Sir Richard Leese, leader of Manchester City Council, said: "Tony Wilson gave a lot to Manchester and was always fiercely proud both of his northern roots and the talent that came out of the city.
"In recognition of this the Tony Wilson Experience is designed to stimulate, inspire and engage the next generation of cultural innovators from Manchester...this is going to be literally one of the most talked about, unmissable, creative 24 hours in the history of Manchester."
There will be some limited public access to the event. To find out more visit www.tonywilsonexperience.com.

Property developer Urban Splash has announced that it is working with Ben Kelly, the man who designed the legendary Hacienda, on a shell apartment scheme in New Islington - Manchester's Millennium Community.
With New Islington's first four phases successfully completed, Urban Splash chose a visit by Labour MP Hazel Blears last month to unveil four new phases for the 30-acre site just east of Manchester city centre.
Among the new plans is the redevelopment of Stubbs Mill, formerly a machine works, into 18 shell apartments and 15,000 sq ft of commercial space. Ben Kelly Design's proposal for Stubbs Mill uses the form of the existing building as a reference point for an extension that blends in well with the New Islington landscape. Subject to planning permission, Urban Splash plans to start work on Stubbs Mill in early 2009.
Other plans include Urban Splash's first family houses, which the developer hopes to complete by early 2009, and Bryant Homes' The Botanic, comprising 200 new homes and ground floor commercial space.
The unique glass facade of Urbis will be transformed into a giant art project as Manchester becomes the UK's only venue to host the international Diesel Wall 2008 competition.
Manchester joins Barcelona, New York and Zurich for this prestigious contest, offering young artists and designers the opportunity to showcase their works on gigantic walls in world-class city centres.
The Diesel Wall trailer artwork is currently emblazoned on the exterior of Urbis; a call to action inviting people from all walks of life to enter. The deadline is May 18 and entries can include painting, photography, video, performance, light, sound, text and experimental concepts, including 3D.
The UK jury will select the winners for the Manchester Diesel Wall in May, and the winning entries will be showcased on Urbis' glass exterior from mid-June until September.
