Volcano shuts Uk, Danish and Norwegian Air Space

The affect of the volcanic ash coming from the eruption in Iceland has caused major flght disruption. The affects can be felt here in the UAE, from a media perspective the Radio Networks have again been kept out of the communication chain...incredible considering how radio stations can provide Immediate updates...

Really speaks volumes for where Radio stands in the media picture.

Shame.

I am receiving updates and queries from Passengers. Wherre are the Airlines spokesmen.?

Life is a Rollercoaster

Living abroad as an expatriate, when was the last time you felt the urge to give it all up and head home to your roots? How often do you think about it? Or is it something that rarely crosses your mind?

Or as an expatriate do you find yourself thinking, where next?

Middle East Media

It's been a very long time since my last blog. International Media has moved in leaps and bounds into the next stratosphere and yet the Media here in the Middle East continues to move at a snail's pace. I am particularly saddened by the lack of forward thinking in the radio markets, many of which have been left well behind by frustrated listeners doing their own Programming on their Ipods and internet.

I have been busy putting things inplace for Jeff Price Media- and the way forward is in providing training and placement advice.
