Eagle Radio breakfast presenter Peter Gordon has signed off for the last time, ahead of the station’s rebrand to Greatest Hits Radio in a few weeks’ time.
PG launched 96.4 The Eagle on 4th January 1996 when it first went on air.
His first words on the station were “Hey, I’ve landed”, referencing Neil Armstrong use of ‘the Eagle has landed’.
Today PG ended his breakfast show with the words: “After landing all those years ago, it’s time for me to take off again. Thank you for listening, and for now it’s cheerio,” before playing The End by The Beatles.
