Radio is now pretty good in saying goodbye to its family. It knows that, for many listeners, presenters have become part of their family \u2013 and a fitting tribute is warranted.\nBBC Radio Lancashire\u2019s Joe Fish, CMA International Broadcaster Of The Year 2008, died in January 2016. This is the programme devoted to his memory, in which listeners, colleagues and family showed their fondness and recognition.\nJoe had joined the Fire Service, aged 18, motivated by stories of being rescued by fireman as a baby from a house fire. 31 years of service followed, alongside a keen involvement in Country music and around forty years serving the genre\u2019s radio.
