On Wednesday, Capital Radio announced it was launching a new national digital pop station, Capital UK, to be broadcast on the new Digital One service next year. While it can rebuke broadcasters for lapses of its code, it has no power to fine stations or remove their licences. Penk has worked for various national and local UK radio stations.
He was born in Rusholme, Manchester and is renowned for his 'wind-up' calls. Thanks for watching Get pranking and Wind Up a friend of yours, I'd love to see what you can do.
STEVE PENK WIND UP CHANNEL TV
The Broadcasting Standards Commission adjudicates on taste, decency and fairness matters across all of the UK's radio and TV stations. Steve Penk is a British radio and television presenter. He phoned US police pretending to be a tourist who had been robbed, occupying an operator for several minutes.Ī listener complained the feature could encourage others to do the same. The station was also criticised by the BSC for broadcasting a wind-up call by morning DJ Steve Penk. Steve Penks daughter Natalie, 27, said she feared for her life after the man began running up and down the aisles and hurling abuse at staff, during a flight from Heathrow to Dubai. A post-mortem found she had three times the state's legal alcohol limit in her body when she died, and she also had traces of the sedative drug Valium in her system. Why should people invest in DAB when their FM tuner gives them high quality stereo reception and DAB does not. This is the story of the man whose wind-up calls were to set him up for. The Steve Penk Wind-Up channel (on Multiplex 10B) is now in higher quality than BBC Radio 4 DAB in the evenings from 7pm.
Nerine Shatner, 40, drowned in the accident at the couple's California home on 9 August. In this hour of Radiomoments Conversations, Steve Penk tells of his nervous. The BSC said the broadcast went beyond "acceptable boundaries", both because of the "distressing and disturbing" nature of the calls and the times it was transmitted - 07.
