April 2016 marked the 40th Anniversary of local radio in Wolverhampton, which had begun with Beacon Radio 303 in April 1976. To mark the anniversary, the current local station WCR FM ran a weekend of special programmes and a number of the original presenters from across the complete history of Beacon Radio were invited to take part in reunion shows.
Interviewer Lee Bannister had worked at Beacon Radio from 1989-2000 and took the opportunity to catch-up with as many of these presenters as possible.
In this episode Lee speaks with KKJ - Kris Kennedy Jnr, legendary host of the Disco Spectacular, with Beacon from the very beginning in 1976.

I've always said the golden years of Beacon Radio creativity wise was from 1976 to 1979.

I remember KKJ winning the Midlands Radio Presenter of the Year in 1979. Toyah Wilcox hosted the programme on BBC 1 Midlands. Dale Winton came second (I wonder what happened to his career?). He also said in 2016 that working at Beacon was like working on "WKRP in Cincinnati", the TV programme.

Hi Kris. Just like to say thanks for all those great nights at The Rising Star night club in Bilston. Just turn 18 and listening to all the tunes you play. If I remember correctly your set was the early one , latest soul sounds. Fantastic. I loved your session. The rising star was my first experience. Believe it or not, of a night out at a club. I think it was Neil Jackson after you then Barry Brown with the reggae session. I was just reminiscing and put KKJ in the RU-vid search engine and the interview came up. That young face brought back so many memories. I can still see you behind the decks, on the stage with the massive KKJ on the front. Best times ever. Thanks again. PS. Just a quick question. Why was it when you finish you just suddenly said “Good night “ and shut everything down and just left us standing there on the dance floor. I hope I’ve stirred a few good memories mate. Good night!
