Pulse jock posts personal email from boss

10/10/2012 - 21:25 | 23 Replies More

The Pulse’s daytime presenter Danny Mylo has created a stir online by posting a confidential email from his boss, telling him not to change the music log.

The email, screen grabbed and posted on Danny’s public Facebook fan page, comes from Acting Programme Controller Craig Beck, who says there may be a problem if he continues to play Gangnam Style and other personal choices.

It says: “For the avoidance of any doubt you are not to delete the music I have selected and replace it with your own choice. This particularly applies to Gangnam Style… if I hear this again this week we’re going to have a problem”.

Comments on the post appeared quickly – a mixture between laughing at Danny’s actions and insulting “the boss”. His page has 15,000 likes and the reaction so far stands at over 300.

Speaking to RadioToday.co.uk, Craig Beck told us: “Danny is one of the most talented and exciting presenters in the country, sometimes he’s a bit cheeky and he needs his chain yanking.

Asked if he’ll be receiving another email asking him to be in his office first thing, he said: “I’ll be talking to him further regarding the seriousness of making private emails public, but I won’t be doing it on email!”

See the email below and leave your comments underneath.

The Pulse broadcasts to West Yorkshire from Bradford, and is owned by UTV Media.

    To be fair, Gangnam Style *is* shit.

    Craig Beck is so good that his awful breakfast show on RR north east was binned and he had to go working as a wedding photographer.

    Obvious stunt is obvious.

    This is NEWS!!! No wonder radio is in the wonderful state it’s in!!!

  • Gavin

    Publishing an internal email is not very professional

  • Caution

    Nice try, lads, but any jock who values their job wouldn’t do this.

  • GH

    This has stunt written all over it. The ‘quote’ from the programme controller kind of gives it away I think.

    what a stupid thing to do

    • http://www.facebook.com/nicknorth Nick Northover

      funny that coming from you Glyn, you sack presenters in your car park using your messanger as your too wet to do it yourself and you are not actually the boss. knob!

      • Ivan R Don

        Isn’t Ambersound a community station where they don’t pay anyone? How can they sack anyone?

        • http://www.facebook.com/DaveThomasNottingham Dave Thomas

          Yes you can sack a volunteer. One of the great misconceptions is that thy are untouchable.

  • Mike Fader

    Does someone at Radio Today need a booster for their anti-gullibilty vaccine ? Don’t you guys know a stunt when it come screamng down the web at you ?

  • B. Roadcaster

    If the guy leaked it then he’s a dishonourable, amateurish, untrustworthy idiot. If he agreed to do it as a stunt for his station then he and his programme controller are both dishonourable, amateurish, untrustworthy idiots. Pulse? Isn’t that a veg that gives you wind?

  • Peter Mizzard

    What a cunning stunt!

    It is about time someone told the powers that be the playlist is BORING and a bit more artistic license should be used by the DJ who is currently an automaton reading the screen from his computer.

  • Me here!

    Being an ex-UTV sufferer, the email is true to their usual dictatorial, knobbish tone. Wouldnt know creativity if it kicked them up the arse. Although, yeah, I do agree, play something better if you’re going to screw with the log

  • jopijedd

    Radio needs more presenters who say balls to the playlist and actually take some interest in their output. There are too many cloned sheep on the air already who are totally interchangeable and nobody gives a toss about.

  • Jason

    The Pulse should never have got rid of Alex Duffy & Becky from breakfast – that show was great in the mornings

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=635922305 Martin Crowther

    It’s probably a publicity stunt as they say any publicity is good publicity. Gangnam style is a very popular song at the moment uk and worldwide and probably should have been placed into the log as the station aims itself towards a young audience but the presenter shouldn’t have placed in the log himself without seeking permission no matter of how talented he is or how much he believes in how much the show needs the song.It shows overall the music research for the station could be performed better, a total disrespect by the presenter to his boss for showing the full e-mail from his boss.

  • Moth

    Yawn. It’s a stunt and this Danny guy rhymes with that.

  • Phil

    Seeing as the programme controller is obviously a lazy sod, as all the UTV stations play the same songs as each other in the same hour, just sometimes in a different order, you would have thought he would have welcomed the help to mix things up a bit! Or maybe he just has OCD….
