Magic AM is a commercial local radio station which broadcasts to South Yorkshire and the North Midlands. The station forms part of the Magic Network and is owned by Bauer Radio. It is considered the sister station of Sheffield-based Hallam FM.

Technical[link]

The station broadcasts on three separate frequencies, 1305 kHz in Barnsley, 1548 kHz for Sheffield & Rotherham and 990 kHz in Doncaster.

History[link]

The station was formed when Radio Hallam split is FM and medium wave frequencies to provide two separate services. The AM station became "Classic Gold", then "Classic Gold Radio", "Great Yorkshire Gold" and "Great Yorkshire Radio". The original incarnation was owned by The Yorkshire Radio Network who were then taken over by Metro Radio group before being bought by EMAP.

Programming[link]

In December 2001, EMAP decided that it was more economical for the Magic AM to share off-peak programmes in line with the other 7 Magic stations in northern England. Stations began networking 10am-2pm from Magic 1152 in Manchester, and 7pm-6am from the London station Magic 105.4 providing the programmes - during these hours it was simply known as Magic, although there were local commercial breaks, and local news on the hour.

In January 2003 after a sharp decline in listening, the station ceased networking with the London station, Magic 105.4, and a regional northern network was created with Magic 1152 at the hub at the weekend and the Newcastle station of the same name during the week. During networked hours, local adverts are aired, as well as a local news summary on the hour.

From July 2006, more networking was introduced across the northern Magic stations, meaning only the breakfast show would be produced locally.

The majority of programming is networked from Newcastle however some is also produced in Manchester and now London.

Branding[link]

The station presently uses very few sung idents, mostly they can be heard after the news each hour, these are produced by Steve England. The rest of the time idents are in the form of Voice-overs which use the voice of Mark Thorburn one of Magic's presenters.

Marco Cardenas better known by his stage name MC Magic is a Mexican rapper, songwriter and record producer, known for rapping and singing, both in English and Spanish.^[1]

Background[link]

MC Magic, was born Marco Cardenas in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico but was raised in Phoenix, Arizona. He moved to Phoenix with his family when he was only 5 years old later moved to Dallas, TX after his career was over to work as a sales associate at Sears located inside North Park Mall.

Music Career[link]

In 1990, he established Nastyboy Records to showcase his productions and talent. Soon there after releasing his first hit single "Lost in Love." The single did very well considering local radio stations only gave it a few spins in the evenings. In 1995, he released his first full-length album, Don't Worry, which enabled him to recruit other artists to form the Nastyboy Klick. With MC Magic's production touch, the Nastyboy Klick spawned a number of regional hits, particularly "Down for Yours" featuring Roger Troutman, which peaked at number ten for Top Rap singles in the country. After appearing on the front page of Phoenix newspaper The Arizona Republic in 1997, MC Magic started to receive calls to tour nationally, placing him far ahead of many other Phoenix-based artists in terms of popularity. By the beginning of the new millennium, his group had been trimmed down to just three members and renamed themselves the NB Ridaz. Having been the motor behind Nastyboy's undertakings, MC Magic was primed to release his second solo album in 2006. The May release, Magic City, peaked at number one on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart and at number 60 for top R&B/Hip-Hop albums.^[1] Magic City's success opened up many new opportunities for him but mostly it established MC MAGIC as a solo act. MC Magic's new found success as a solo artist motivated him to continue his successful run, with his follow-up album "Magic City, Part II" which was released on June 10th 2008. "Magic City Part II" featured some of the hottest artists in the game with guest appearances from Baby Bash, Too Short, Chingo Bling, Big Gemini, DJ Kane from the Kumbia Kings. "Magic City, Part II" peeked at number 6 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart and contained hit songs such as "Princesa", "Girl I Love You and "The Only 1".^[1] As MC Magic's career started to take off rapidly, he started to tour continuously all over the states, the shows ranged from small venues to huge arenas. In 2010, MC Magic decided to continue to expand his solo music catalog and started to record songs for his new album "THE REWIRE". Eventually he released the album's first single "Mrs.Delicious", the record was uptempo, completely different than his usual r&b style but it seemed to work. Even though "The Rewire" was completed by late December, it was set to be released on Valentines Day of 2011. MC Magic promoted his upcoming album repeatedly in his hometown of Phoenix, AZ with huge billboards and bus benches throughout the city. Later he expanded his promotion on to one of his largest markets, California, also placing bus benches throughout the city of Los Angeles and surrounding areas. The release for MC Magic's highly anticipated album "The Rewire" was pushed to an earlier date and was released on February 8th, 2011. All the heavy promotion for the album proved successful as his release party for THE REWIRE in his hometown at a local mall brought in an enormous crowd, so much so that the autograph line led all the way out of the store into the mall. This album contained several hits for MC Magic such the single "Diggin", which is an up-tempo rap record featuring Twista & and upcoming female rapper Snow tha Product, the single completely different from his smooth R&B style and it seemed to catch the radio's attention. The hit single took off quickly, several radio stations started to pick it up and had it in heavy rotation. As MC Magic released "DIGGIN", he also introduced his first all Spanish Rap Banda record called "Todos Mis Diaz" hoping to compete in the Spanish market.

The One AM Radio is the musical project of Hrishikesh Hirway, a composer and songwriter from Los Angeles. The One AM Radio's sound is often characterized by Hrishikesh's lush, soothing vocals over dream-like instrumental arrangements. He does most of his own recording, playing several of the instruments and producing all the beats; the style borders electronica, folk, post-rock, chamber music, and ambient music.

Born in Massachusetts, Hrishikesh began The One AM Radio while a student at Yale University, where he studied art and film. After moving to Los Angeles, the project expanded to include new bandmates Scott Leahy and Fontaine Cole.

The One AM Radio's second album, A Name Writ In Water, was named by Time Out New York as one of the top 10 albums of 2004. A set of remixed tracks from that album was put out as an ep in January 2005, entitled On the Shore of the Wide World. The EP was the #1 download in iTunes' electronic genre for 3 weeks upon its release, and stayed in the top 10 for another 3 weeks after that.
