The Radio City Tower is not for the faint hearted. As you go up in the lift, your ears may pop, and…read moredespite it being a solid structure it can occasionally feel like it's wobbling when it gets really windy. I was 'lucky' enough to do the traffic and travel on Radio City when I was about 16, and I use inverted commas because no teenage girl should be subjected to the male chauvinists who work there. This was back in the days of Kev Seed doing the morning radio followed by Irish Joe, and thankfully I was smart enough NOT to sit on his knee when he invited me to... Whilst working in the tower was a great experience (despite having to be there at something ridiculous like 5am) these sad old leches could have really ruined the experience for someone less wily than myself. I managed to unleash my sharp tongue and come up with nifty retorts to all their insinuations, which only served to endear me more to them, but hey, they extended my airtime! The tower also includes the Magic 1548 peeps and possibly Juice FM too, and I'd love another opportunity to go back up there and do radio again. The views from the tower are great and I think I'm right in saying it was used two years ago in some sort of fireman competition where they had to run up all the steps and back down again carrying all their gear. People have doubtlessly abseiled off it too, but for my part, I'd rather be on the radio or watching the firemen!! I guess some of Kev's perviness rubbed off on me after all...

It's a brilliant idea, basically the DJ Rossie and his broadcast assistant take the pee out of people too thick to answer simple questions. If you win, you get a prize, if not, phone back the next morning to be ridiculed again. Genius. Anyway, to the music - slightly annoying sometimes as the same song list can be repeated a few times in the day but there is a variety of genres ranging from what is in the chart to the new up and coming bands in Liverpool. The actual building is a huge cylindrical tower, which used to have a revolving restaurant at the top - now utilised as the radio station. The tower is an iconic feature in Liverpool City Centre and can be seen for miles.

I've never been able to comprehend the vehemence some people have at this tower's appearance. It's…read morenot that ugly, is it? Yeah, it's not exactly the Space Needle but have you ever seen old photos of it, back when it blighted the skyline of 70s Liverpool? It resembled something that was already dated before it even went up. This is partly true. One of its design functions was as a ventilation shaft for the market below before a change in the law presumably made this somehow illegal. Built in 1969 and opened by the Queen (did she have nothing else on that day?) the structure is the second tallest in Liverpool and the thirtieth in the UK overall. Not bad for something that looks like a golf tee. Formerly the location of restaurants that later failed, the beacon is now doing well as the headquarters of Radio City 96.7 and Magic 1548. The downside for anybody tuning in, of course, is that the smug DJs will mention this fact every ninth of a second.

St. Johns Beacon, one of Liverpool's iconic landmarks, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Wirral, North Wales, Lancashire and beyond. You also get an exclusive behind the scenes tour of the three radio stations: City Talk 105.9, Magic 1548 and Radio City 96.7. Adults are priced at £6.25, students £5.25 and concessions £4.25 (children aged 15 or younger). Family tickets and group discounts are also available upon request.

The main genre of music broadcast is modern-soft and music from the 90's. Wish FM often make a lot of basic errors, like not being in time for the news so there are big silences and occasionaly playing adverts over the news (all when the station is networked.) Having said that, not bad in day time , and well worth the listen.

His breakfast show starts at 6am every day is really lots of fun. For example, Steve has just become an ordained minister. What more do you need to know? Think Chris Moyles or Scott Mills but local to Manchester and a bit more down to earth. He's a good guy. Music-wise The Revolution's playlist is a bit more grown up, but when I'm fed up of listening to Tinchy Styder or whatever his name is on Radio 1, The Revolution is often where I head.

Located on…read moreCastle Quay between Deansgate and Castlefield, Key103 is linked to MagicFM, whose Manchester branch is right next door. As well as classic r'n'b tunes and all the latest chart hits, Key103 also specialize in football. As they pride themselves on being Manchester's real local radio station, they always air both the Manchester United and the Manchester City games. They do this through their link with Magic, by airing one game on each channel, if they're playing at the same time. Located in a picturesque setting on the canal just across a bridge from the famous Dukes92 and BarCa, Key103 base is also worth a visit. Its next to a nice bar, called Lava, which is lesser known but in my opinion better than Dukes on a rainy day.

It broadcasts in Manchester but covers pretty much the entire North West, as I found out on my coach trip from Liverpool Airport to Manchester. You'll get what's in the charts, that's for sure, with the occasional tacky classic thrown in for good measure. Not what I'd personally choose to tune into, but hey, if everybody looked the same, we'd all get tired of looking at each other. Wait, that doesn't quite work...
