Tom Sanders, a member and announcer of 979fm, Friday 22nd July is celebrating his 200th show. Tom Sanders’s show is called The Drive Home, and it began about 4 years ago. Tom’s friend Jake did work experience with 97.9fm and eventually got his own show, and one day Tom Sanders decided to sit with him and co-host.
When Tom Sanders got asked, Why Radio ?
He said ” as I really liked the idea of being able to express my own music and ideas.”
Tom and Jake did a few shows together and then Jake had to move away, leaving an open slot at that time. Tom wanted to continue, so he got some training with Jon Peppin from the “Top 30 Country” , and eventually The Drive Home was born.
