LATE night radio listeners were shocked when a caller died while on air.


DJ Pete Price was conducting his nightly phone-in on Radio City when one of the lines went dead in mid-conversation.

The phone was engaged when Pete tried to call back and neighbours of the well-known caller rang in to report that lights were still blazing inside the house.

The worried DJ contacted police but says he was told the incident was not a priority.

So, with hundreds of listeners frantically calling for news Pete pulled the plug on his show and rushed down to the house in Old Swan.

When he arrived just before midnight an ambulance was already outside the address in Derwent Road West.

The 60-year-old man was confirmed dead after having suffered a heart attack and found slumped in his armchair.

Pete said: "I just had a gut feeling that something was terribly wrong. I was absolutely devastated and phoned the police.

"I announced to the listeners afterwards that he had died and we just played music for the rest of the show.

"I understand that police have to prioritise incidents, but I don't know why they couldn't have sent one policeman down to check.

"Instead, the police wouldn't go, but the DJ went instead."

A Merseyside police spokeperson said today the matter was being investigated by the Professional Standards Department.

She said: "Our sympathies go out to this gentleman's family.

"A full investigation of the evening's events is under way. It will look at the call made to police and the response to it."

Pete added: "He was a very opinionated bloke who called my show often. But he was good fun on air with some very fiery views."

Don't like Price but credit to him for what he did.

Wonder why Pete and his coffee morning regulars only knew him as Terry when they knew where he lived and Terry even went to his coffee mornings?

What about the guys family? Seems all we know is what Price is telling us.

From what I read all they had to say about Terry is he was bigot and died what he loved doing on Price's website anyway so I thought they knew him well.

RIP Terry.

Typical response from the Police eh? Total Policing at its finest :sad: RIP Terry.

See Pete Price On-line Forum (http://www.peteprice.com/forum/)!

Twas a member there over a year ago until a caller who is now my mate got hell when he called in and banned there as well as Dave knows.

I got deleted for going with my mates there.:cool:

Was funny those couple of nights.:p

Dont know wether anyone was listening last night, I am an avid listener and on his forum he asked people what they thought of the new show... He got good and bad reports and then goes off on one in a hissy fit when people told him what they thought of the new show format... here have a listen

right click and save as http://www.discodollies.co.uk/rant.mp3

what I have gathered from this is Pete thinks nothing of his listeners on his site and he owes them nothing... this is is not true... cobblers to him if it wasnt for your listeners you would not be on air!!! And so what if there was not protests en masse when you got sacked last time... you are not GOD you are a radio show host... well not now, you are now a jock!! a 60 year old Tony Blackburn style jock... well actually you are not, as Tony Blackburn is cool and regurlaly plays out in Ibiza... couldnt see you doing that any time soon... I think his ego is getting bigger than him to be brutaly honest.....


ahhhh rant over... I feel better now :)

Hey Disco Dan, it's me Mr Satan from the other forum you visit as the one.;)

Thats the way we were treated in 2004 and he even told lies about me on air!:disgust:

Funny when he got mad at my angry reaction. :lol:

He owes his listeners lots, even though Adverts pay his wages and they don't, the companies/shops wouldn't be buying advert space if there was a lack of listeners. His figures are most high because they want to laugh at him too.

To be honest he's cheapened what a phone in is supposed to be and how did a Dj qualify to be a phone in host? He's not very bright and not very open minded.

:) ello :)

aye he didnt do himself any favours last night... I think now that he has a bigger audience his ego has got a lot larger (if that ever could happen). Lets see how long it is before he is off and back on coffin dodger mw or whatever it was :)

Well known personality Pete Price; stand up comedian, compere, DJ, singer, TV & radio. Pete presents his own radio show which includes a late night phone-in.

http://www.peteprice.com

I am so shocked he has been put in here.:p

he aint my cup of tea but a lot of people listen to him. myself i think he is two faced

I'm neutral :)

I think he should be included tho' ... 'cos he is a very well known character.

He's wlesh too so he doesn't qualify to be a scouser. :p

Then Ricky Tomlinson cant be in it then?

He welsh too!:eek:

He's wlesh too so he doesn't qualify to be a scouser. :p


oops :confused: ... is he ?? .. probably should have checked his credentials first :ninja:
It would be interesting to know if he classes himself as a 'Wirralite' a Scouser or Welsh even ! ?? :D
... but because he's such a famous personality on Merseyside - we'll let him in :)

Then Ricky Tomlinson cant be in it then?

... another one I was thinking about is Halle Berry ... her mother is a Scouser from Cantril Farm (if I'm not mistaken) - but her father is American. Like Austin Powers and Kim Catterall, she has Liverpool origins.

I've just had a thought ... we should have had the 'Honorary Scouser' thread like we used to - then we could stick Pete in there! :D

LOL yes we should, honorary scousers. Instead of me creating a separate category for now, we could just put in front of their name something to indicate it like:

[Honorary]Pete Price when posting the new thread, is this ok for now?

I read Ricky Tomlinson was actually born in Blackpool during the war as his Mother was there during the bombings. But he did marry and move to Wrexham were his 1st wife and kids still live. But does seem funny the digs he has at Cilla Black for not living here when he only moved back after his 1st marriage ended. Still a funny man though.

tiss true I'm affraid, a great fella ;)

Can anyone else listen to Pricey's show other than for a laugh?

I prefer not to listen to them at all. I always check the level of my clock radio before I go to sleep and Pricey always suprises me and I think turn it off quick!!!

Why do people listen to him if they don't like him?:confused:

I only wake up to Radio City, thats all.

Last night (sunday 14th May) we listened to the Pete Price phone-in on radio city. Lots of people ringing in saying how good a day it had been watching Liverpool bring the FA cup home. Then someone said that the Liverpool players had been spat at and had two bags of rubbish thrown at them while on the bus. Pete`s reply to this was " It was probably bitter Evertonians"

Now this changed the show from good mannered to downright nasty. Pete was getting emails having a go at him and calls saying he was out of order for saying it. It became a hate show with fans (if they are) of both sides having a go at each other.

What really bugged me was that Pete seemed to be winding it all up. when a lady challenged him for saying it was Evertonians he went mad saying she should see what he has to put up with and should see all the vulgar emails. Well this seems to be his cop out every time he is challenged on a subject. if you dont share his opinion then he just talks over you or goes on about what he has to put up with. Yet he says the show is for anything people want to talk about, its not its for what he wants to talk about.

He let a few calls through and read out a few emails having a go at Evertonians before he decided to start saying "well you cant accuse Evertonians" again he had fuelled the fire.

Then calls and emails would be allowed saying things like " it is bitter supporters of the so called Peoples club" or " supporters of another team who are jealous" I wonder who they meant?

When the so called peoples club was mentioned Pete replied with" they are probably the same people who send the vile threatening emails and want every asylum seeker sent home" Way out of order Mr Price.

It was not long after this that my my girlfriend (a Liverpool Fan) turned the radio off in disgust. He is doing this every week with subjects to boost his show. he loves a kick off on the sunday phone in. but i have had enough of him. maybe i am just a bitter evertonian but i will never listen to him again and will be glad the day he and his ego are given the boot.

Yesterday was an enjoyable day watching Liverpool bring home the cup , the fans where great and the atmosphere superb. sadly for me it was ruined because i chose to tune in Mr Prices show:angry:

I find that incidents like the rubbish throwing one, if true would have been sorted out pretty quickly by police and stewards, jees there were plenty of them plus big yellow police fans.

Big Yellow Police Fans:) Lol Kev:celb (23):

When people like Kenny Daglish are putting together charity matches and others are trying to unite local fans then it seems a shame that he is prepared to allow this on his show.

I remember the Merseyside chant of the 1980`s and would love to hear it again. It filled one with pride it did

Big Yellow Police Fans:) Lol Kev:celb (23):

Vans, I meant Vans :celb (23):

I hate the way he doesn't read your emails out fully to make himself look good. :mad:

Since when was the show good mannered? :lol:

Eveyone I know listens to it only to take the pee out of him.

Gnomie, are you Ian76 there by any chance? Just wondering as he jokes with Browneyes like you do.:Colorz_Grey_PDT_16:

I don't listen to Pete Price but I am sure he is the same as James Whale and the more recent Jezza's Virgin Confessions, people will always disagree with opinion... I have never heard as much about them as I have Pete Price... maybe he should hang his mic up, I would like to have a listen first though :celb (23):

Gnomie, are you Ian76 there by any chance? Just wondering as he jokes with Browneyes like you do

Not me Max

Browneyes jokes with everyone, she`s a good egg:celb (23): :Colorz_Grey_PDT_16:

I only listen to his show about once a month. Even when I do listen, I turn it off during the 'Peaceful Hour' - can't be ars*d listening to other people's taste in music.

It was not long after this that my my girlfriend (a Liverpool Fan) turned the radio off in disgust.

Geez, aren't you guys married yet?! When's the wedding?

I've only been listening when friends tell me their upto mischief.:eek:

Can't understand why Pete Price puts himself in the firing line like this ... I mean, if a lot of callers are just out to take the mick - as has been commented - (I'm sure Pete Price must realise this too) .. why does he put up with it.

I don't listen to the show myself ... I catch a bit of it sometimes when my mum listens to it. From what I can make out, a lot of 'P---y arses get on there, tanked up, and talking a load of crap. I don't blame Price for roaring at them.
I couldn't be bothered giving the likes of them the time of day.

I would advise Price to give it up and go onto a completely different type of show. He should stop now and save his dignity.

Yeah I think he should give up.

The shows not capable of a proper phone in and it cheapens the meaning of a phone in.:rolleyes:

Yeah, that's right Max.

It's not like a proper phone-in.

Yeah, that's right Max.

It's not like a proper phone-in.

What, like where u phone in? :Colorz_Grey_PDT_16: (*poor joke effort sorry). The phone in should aim to be like Radio Merseyside with their afternoon phone-ins.

I've just been informed that Pete Price did actually apologise for his comment about the rubbish throwing incident, (when he said that ''it must have been bitter Evertonians'') - he said sorry at 19 mins past 11 (he kept repeating the time !!)

His show is not in the text of Roger Philips show which is more serious and credible from the point of the people who phone in. On Petes show, though i not listened for a while, it was either a celeb friend (Clare Sweeney, Les Dennis) Old women who love this camp character or scallie scum (of all ages, some right drunken oldies as well as pot smoking youngsters that really do Liverpool proud) while Roger has mainly older educated people and the occasional moaner.

I don't like the style of Petes show so i don't listen. A lot of people hate him but listen anyway, why?

Don't you think Pete Price is very self exploiting anyhow
I do not listern to his phone in often
Basicaly because he does not give a fair two sided argument
If you do not agree with his side
He goes in to a big girly scream and cuts you off
How radio city can give him so much air time beggars belief
Pete Price is for Pete Price

Hi

Pete Price ALWAYS goes too far. He's ridiculous. I've spoke to him afew times, and he's a terrible conversationist (is that a word) .. he just expects everyone who calls to be a wind up merchant, when often they're not.

However it is entertaining to listen to the show.
Are any of you on his forum?

I wasn't advertising it, just wondering.

I've never listened to the guy myself but he sounds a bit like Mike ****in off Talk Sport who runs a phone in show late on Friday & Saturday nights.He too is very off with people.In fact i would go as far as saying he's downright ignorant & sarcastic,but if i'm not mistaken they do it for a reaction & to get the ratings up.For instance he hates people asking him how he is.His usual reply is "My health is not in question",he also cannot stand sayings like "At the end of the day".
Before i realised "his game i used to ring him up on purpose asking how he was & generally winding him up but he has cottened on to people doing it now.
I must say though that unless you take these guys seriously it can be fun listening in sometimes.I presume sometimes there can be interesting callers sometimes & if Pete Price is putting them down as well then he should be pulled up about it.

From the bits I've listened to, the callers are just as bad.
Either, drunk, stoned, or illiterate. There is the occassional sensible caller. :rolleyes:

I seem to be the only one who always listens!

Not all of the Weekday progammes appeal to me but I like the Sunday-free-for-all. It can be quite entertaining and informative too! Most people who say "you aren't popular" normally get " 2 million listeners. 2 million listeners, I can't be all that popular can I ?".

But as he says, you don't like it, don't listen. It's as simple as that. I personally feel sorry for him sometimes as his sexuallity always seems to be the reason why people wind him up. Why don't these prats (you can tell I listen! that's his word!) just give it up and get over it? So what if he stands on t'other side o' fence?

But to be fair, he does publisise how great the city is when he goes around places. But I suppose if you work for one of the partner organisations to the Culture Company, you have to!

Just on the back of that, he hasn't had any of his infamous coffee mornings recently has he?

He says how great Liverpool is for capitalism. Apparently when Liverpool won the European cup and Liverpool fans were all over the tele's he was on being interviewed saying how he's glad they won, yet he's not into football.

He's just a publicity *****.

I know it's silly how they go on about his Sexuality but when he's given constructive criticism, he can;t take it. Well if your popular, then you should expect it and have to just take it.

I don't listen like he says though.

I suppose as with many "celebs". There are two sides to every story. I mean look at Frank Sinatra! Talented musician, but a infamous gangster at the same time.

With are Pete, I suppose people would say talented comedian or DJ, but very opinionated. Is that fair would you say :question:

He was funny when I saw his a couple of years ago on a Boxing night at The Matchworks, Speke.

Constuctive criticism is fine i'm all for that.But if people are giving him stick over his sexuality then they ought to be challenged over their views as it is not acceptible in this day & age,where we are supposably more enlightened about these things.His sexuality is personal to him & unless he makes it an issue should remain so.
Clearly he is in the public eye being a radio presenter so he is going to be an easy target for small minded & bigotted people who just want to wind him up about it.
That aside it would be interesting to know if he has free reign over who he chooses to listen to & who he cuts off when he doesn't agree with them,which should be a balance really if the programme is to be fair.
A lot of these types of phone ins are deliberatly hyped up in order to get as many people tuning in as possible!.They are in the business known as "shock jocks" a term originally used i believe in USA where they have been pretty successful.They certainly get people talking about their shows & word gets round then before you know it the listenership increases.

Hes very succesful. Not my cup of tea, so i don't listen, though i used to. I just don't understand why people who despise him so much do listen.

As for his sexuality, people who ring up just to call him a ***** are pathetic.

And as for his support for Liverpool and not being a football fan, Paul O Grady also pledged his support even though he dosen't follow football. And a lot of people don't follow Rugby but were singing in the streets the night Johhny Wilkinson helped England win.

As Pete Price is in the public eye (locally) and of course is an opinionated gay man hes going to have people gunning for him.

Giving support is fine, but he sure knew where the cameras were.

The guy is a failed celebrity who tries to make himself look like one of the big boys by harrassing the likes of Paul O'Grady and Peter Kay and then pretending they're his best mates. When I was 13/14/15/16 I listened to his show every night on 96.7 and Magic 1548 but I just grew to hate him. I got bored of him cutting off callers who wanted to talk about interesting stuff and instead forcing discussion about his crappy little self promotion events going on around the north west. The final straw was when Liverpool won the European Cup. For years I've heard him go on about how much he hates football and cutting off callers who wanted to talk about either Liverpool or Everton. Then, just hours before kick off in Istanbul, I see the ****ing hypocrite on North West Tonight (or maybe Granada Reports) sat in a bar with a bunch of Liverpool supporters, drinking a pint, adorned in Liverpool shirt and scarf, going on about how he has long been passionate about LFC and loves the game!

The guy is a failure, a wannabe, and a total disrespectful ****.

Pete wants to be an Echo Columnist (again!) He has just betted against somebody to see if he will get a column in the paper. He just keeps going on about it.

I think the Wirral Globe is looking for somebody. He is proud of the Wirral after all!

If he's a queen, whos the king?:eek:

I think my all time favorite call that I listened to on his show was when some bog rat woman phoned up, all reserved and said, wait for it..........I'd just like to say Pete, wait for it..........**** off you dirty **** licker, Wordsworth himself would have been proud. Pete swiftly terminated the call and started his typical rant.

Comedy you just couldn't buy.

You're right Kev, you feel at any given moment somebody could snap and give him a peice of their mind.

But by law they need to have a delay on so that offensive/slanderous comments can be muted. If somebody came on and started goping on about how a City leader had supposedly sleped with a powerful person, the radio station could get into serious hot water!

The pathetic petty insults and scum ringing in and Pete kicking off was temporarily entertaining when he started his Unzip program way back in 99. Now its just boring. I think with is new format he's tried to make the show more grown up but he's not the man for the job. Roger Philips would be better suited and more educated, but thats why he's not doing it, Radio City is'nt that type of station and its nothing more than Trisha or Jeremy Kyle type programming.

But still don't understand why people who despise him still listen.

The weekday programmes are trying to be more adult; probably because when he was on Magic 1548, the callers were mature and they had some respect for him as compared to some of the City listeners.

I used to listen to him on Magic when i was living on me own and at 1st was quite intresting and had a few characters ringing in. But it started getting stale and i just stopped tuning in. Also did'nt like his attitude when people disagreed with him (not so much the idiots, they needed shouting down).

I listened to the new formats on Radio City but in my opinion, its just not working. Hes not the type of DJ to do serious programs as i've already stated.

But hes still in demand, a lot of people disagree with me so he'll be at the helm for the time being.

From the 15th of September 06 he his writing in the Liverpool Echo thats he been on his knees for.
Fergie

wrats he writing for the echo Fergie??

i've tried to contact him by email but just get his producers with the standard reply of whats on tonight...

Lemmo...:celb (23):

He's been having a go at his fave subjects again today, girls in

pyjamas morning noon and night plus lads who walk around with their hands down their kecks. I noticed that a while

ago. Click here (http://www.yoliverpool.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1877&highlight=teen+lads).

Oh so interesting don't ya think?

Nothing to do with Pete Price (not detailing the subject) but I remember Boris Johnson admitting on Have I Got News For You that he also tried cocaine and 'sneezed when he should have snorted'. :PDT_Xtremez_42:

ONE of radio host Pete Price’s listeners has been charged with sending him a death threat.

The 26-year-old allegedly texted the broadcaster while he was presenting his radio talk show with a threatening, homophobic message.

Pete, 61, immediately phoned police who traced the number and a man was arrested.

Stephen Hesketh, from Gurnall Street, Walton, was arrested and questioned on Thursday.

Now police have charged him with sending a threatening text which causes worry, and he will appear before magistrates.

The veteran DJ and ECHO columnist was in the Radio City studios when he got the alleged text.

Price rang Merseyside Police, who were able to find out where it had been made from mobile phone records.

The broadcaster is one of the only ones in the country to give out his mobile number and encourage listeners to contact him.

In a column in Thursday’s ECHO, the West Kirby-born DJ bemoaned the amount of abuse he was getting on the phone.

He wrote: “I’m thinking of switching it off permanently and getting rid of it because of the vile abuse I receive day after day.”

A few years ago, a listener attacked the presenter’s Mercedes with a baseball bat after a phone- in show, smashing its windscreen.

When he asked what she was doing, the woman said: “You cut me off before I made my point.”

On another occasion, a man tried to break into Radio City’s headquarters, because he had become convinced Price had tried to kill John Lennon.

A police spokesman said: “A man from the Walton area has been charged with sending a text message, which conveys a threat for the purpose of causing distress or anxiety to the recipient, under the 1998 Malicious Comm-unications Act.”

Hesketh will appear at Dale St magistrates’ court at on Wednesday, October 24.

Not suprising Liverpool is a very homophobic city

He's an attention seeker, what does he expect.

He can't respect opinions and will shout rubbish like vile whenever someone discusses an opinion or view thats out of his Intelligence league.


He wrote: “I’m thinking of switching it off permanently and getting rid of it because of the vile abuse I receive day after day.”

He can't be that stupid.:eek:

I remember emailing him once saying don't you think It's unfair how he demeans his own forum members and he responed on Air with saying I'm obsessed with violence and I know who probably told him that but I won't say.

He was spying on a forum and after hearing that I said something out of being pissed and he spouted about It being a threat on my life too and he dropped It after a few emails.

He's only on air because Radio City gets huge ratings from people taking the piss out of him.

PETE Price snorted cocaine – then felt so guilty he turned himself in to the police. Read (http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/local-news/2007/09/24/pete-price-my-cocaine-shame-100252-19838860/)


Only just noticed that.

You can't be prosecuted for taking drugs only possesing them.

Whatever the man is, whether he be opinionated or has an annoying habit of cutting his listeners off, does not justify people sending death threats. More than likely the person who sent it would not have the credentials to carry it out and is just a sad moron who sits behind in the comfort of his home with his phone thinking hes safe to send out his little fantasy texts.

Its ridiculous people get so worked up over a DJ with a phone in. Sorry but it boils down to him being a homosexual. Billy Butler has similar rants to Price but dosen't get this amount of abuse, apparently. People who listen to Price even though they can't stand him then get worked up because of his on air habits that hes been doing for 10 years then continue to listen anyway really are pathetic. I don't listen to him because of what he does, hes not going to change, so leave him to it.

Sending death threats should be treated seriously. I agree with Prices actions this time.

True, It's because he's gay and easy to wind up, Radio city get alot of listeners so there keen to keep employing him. It doesn't justify threating to kill him but he Is a provoking person.

Could their be a reason why this man sent Pricey the text though? Pricey's attitude does provoke people and the Echo hasn't mentioned a reason why and Pricey writes for them so there could be some bias here.

I wouldn't know what reason but there has to be something, the way he treats people on air and his attention seeking doesn't surprise me.

No ones justifying a death threat here though.

Well the reasons i think is because hes a easy target. Hes a homosexual, hes getting on a bit, plus the fact the idiot who sent it thought he was untraceable.

Only thing Price brings on himself is when people criticise his style. But the fact is what do you expect from someone like him? Hes no Roger Phillips, hes Heat magazine-esque, hes just a ageing fame hungry local celeb. And Radio City use him as a scally magnet so they ring his show, talk a absolute load of sh*t or call him a gay whatever. Giving outsiders more amnunition to ridicule Scousers.

But his sexuality should not be targeted. That has nothing to do with the fact hes an opinionated egotist.

The Homosexuality excuse Is an easy one though. He's stereotyped himself though being a homosexual but thats another topic.

The article mentions a woman taking a baseball bat to his Mercedes because she cut him off air. Too extreme that was to take a bat to his car but the way he talks to people can also be reasons why even though the callers can take It too extreme.

He gives them a chance to talk but when he doesn't like their views or finds the views too Intelligent for him to give a sensible answer, he calls them names demeaning them or cuts them off, so he provokes them. It's not a surprise he's getting messages like threats and he did give people his number to talk to him since he thinks cowards type.

As i don't listen, i can't comment if he does have intelligent callers. The only ones i heard when i last listened, on City at least, was old people, especially women, talking about soaps or the good old days or scally scum talking an absolute pile of cack. He did cut people off and he did over react on or two issues, but thats why i stopped listening. Its not exactly offensive what he does. If people get so worked up about him, they are truly sad. To baseball bat his car or send death threats is beyond justifiable and saying he brings it on himself because he cuts people off is plain wrong.

Pricey has a smart car now, a car that hardly has anything to take a bat too as It's so small.:eek:

Two strikes and It would be smashed up.

Turning himself In for taking cocaine years ago Is hilarious and no wonder theirs a lot of pranksters phoning, someone with his ego and media *****ness begs to have the odd prankster.

Nothing extreme like threats or taking a bat to his car though.

The Pete Price show gets played around the country I believe.

Pete price has done what he wanted.Got more exposure from the media.
Him and Derek Achora give Liverpool nothing!
Useless people doing useless things.:PDT11

Him and Acorah could be one person. Acorah talks to the dead, so does Price going by the Zombie like cretins for callers he gets. Both camp, both have white hair, both loved by old women, wear an earring. Mirror images.

I think it would be a major accomplishment to get them to stand next to each other.

The Pete Price show gets played around the country as 'entertainment' I believe. Not really a good ad for the city is it?

It's not false advertisment though.

He was on the microphone even In the 800 Parade as well!

Why bother hiring him for the 800 parade? No one will be entertained.

I remember hearing at the time when Liverpool won In Istanbul that as soon as the cameras were In the pubs, that he wore a Liverpool shirt and made sure he was on the camera even though he hates football.

Frauds are pure evil.

And about a few million people cheered on the England Rugby team over the last week even though they don't normally watch it. Paul O 'Grady is also guilty of showing support even though he dosen't like Football.

Its what Price does, hes the same as any other celeb trying to up there status.

Plenty of frauds on forums.

Pete Price has a quite a good singing voice you know.


I've seen him do his act and he can sing.

Me too Lindy, I saw him at a club once doing his act, was quite funny.

Despite what the likes of myself say about the mans DJ styling, he does have a huge following, locally anyway, and his book is selling well apparently. He probably one of the most recognised local Radio personalities and would shift tickets at a gig. More than the likes of Billy Butler or Kev Seed. And the plus side, the fact hes gay winds up homophobes, which is a big plus.

But to me, hes still a annoying egotistical fame hungry drama queen used as a scally magnet for City.

Pete Price is a very talented and well-liked man. He is extremely good at what he does and as such I'm a huge fan of his.

I love his stage act and I love listening to him on radio. I really do get fed up of people knocking him though, in fact I get fed up of people knocking anyone.

The easiest thing if you don't like someone is just to have nothing to do with them. Rather than phone them up and abuse them or make postings on forums criticising them, just don't have anything to do with them. Just don't support them.

I don't like Johnathan Ross, so I don't watch him. That doesn't mean I criticise him or try to bring negativity about him. He's obviously a successful and well-liked person. It's just my choice not to have anything to do with him.

This seems common sense to me.

More the opposite.

I'd forgotten all about this guy, I used to listen to him as I was leaving the city to work away, that was a few years ago.
Got the link for the net broadcast, but I won't be able to listen to the radio city site 'till Monday, is the quality of broadcast ok on the 'net?

well, he's certainly got us talking - there are 6 pages on this thread :)


just a quick glance down the list and only a few have a pages of posts - ie; James Maybrick, Curtis Warren & Ray Quinn (what a mixture !!) :)

I agree.

I have nothing against Pete Price and I think it's just fashionable to knock him - especially since all the no-marks cottoned onto him and started the craze on all this abuse and prank calling. :disgust:
If I was Pete Price I would be yelling down the phone to them too - - I can't abide low lifes. Every name Pete Price calls them is right ! I don't know how he stands doing that job - half of the callers are either drunk, or drugged up or just plain nutters - and what the scallies havn't got the brain cells to work out - is that they are a laughing stock - and Pete is getting paid for having to listen to their garbage, and he's laughing all the way to the bank :handclap:

I don't follow his program, but my mum and my son listen to it every night so I do catch a bit of it here and there.



Jonathan Ross - - I can't stand him. I switch over as soon as he comes on tv. he's too smutty - he talks like a smutty sixth former - he's like a big soft lad.

As a phone-in host Alan Beswick was the worst for winding up scousers who he collectively hates. I'd say he started the prank/crank call craze decades ago.

Oh aye - I remember him !

He was the first who started that type of phone-in - shouting at the callers etc.

Yeah, and cutting them off whilst calling them expletives. It's all to get a reaction and he certainly did that.

Was that on Red Rose, Ged? I remember him, he was as antagonistic as they come...but I always remember he had a thing for crying pensioners or suiciders, he'd do the concerned DJ, then back to the vitriol with the next caller.

Yes Kolchak. It was Red Rose. That wooly back voice of his too.

It crossed my mind that Pete Price's show has turned into another Alan Beswick show. Pity really, as it didn't start out like that.
What seemed to start the change in Pete Price's show (in the early days) was the amount of people ringing in after having a skin full of ale - and then talking a lot of 'ale talk' - Pete Price started to give them back as good as they gave, which in turn attracted more 'nom de plumes' to ring up - then the show eventually turned into the shouting match that it is now.

There not trying to up their status by cheering England or doing It for their own Ego.

How does cheering a team feed your ego? got me stumped there Max. Why i say trying to up his celeb status getting his pic in the papers and rubbing shoulders with the sportsmen (and not in the way homophobes are thinking). In that sense hes feeding his ego.


Homophobes may call Pete a gay this that the other, but as Lindy and others have pointed out, hes getting paid for it. Laughing all the way to the bank. But the Homophobes who listen to him even though hes gay and get worked up over him are gaining nothing. Just showing how sad there life is if all they can do is get there feathers ruffled by a person they suppose to hate. One nil to Price on that score.

Can't say i agree with you on the first bit, but thousands do.

Your second part is spot on. But people do listen even they don't like him, and i don't know why. Called being sad.

He deserves critiscm just like anyone else if people think hes wrong, but to give him abuse, give him stick over his sexuality or sending death threats and physically attacking him is plain wrong.
