Kiss 92 FM’s Maddy Barber bids farewell to radio

After 26 years in Singapore radio and media, Kiss92 DJ Maddy Barber, co-host of the station’s breakfast show ‘Maddy, Andre & Divian In The Morning’, will be presenting her last show on 16 July.
The industry veteran, who commands a huge fan following with her exuberant personality and candid attitude, announced today that she will be leaving radio to focus on growing her award-winning bespoke jewellery brand, MADLY.
Barber said: “Not many DJs can say that they’ve done the absolute best shows they were born to do, and got to do it with partners whom they have once-in-a-lifetime chemistry and connection with – I’ve done that, twice over! So, what’s next? Radio will always be my first love, but now is the time for me to put my heart and soul into growing MADLY. My most transformative years were spent here at SPH Radio and it will forever have a special place in my heart.”
Sim Hong Huat, General Manager, SPH Radio, said: “It has been an amazing decade with Maddy and we’re definitely sad to see her leave. But more so, we’re happy that she is doing this for herself and her family, especially in these unprecedented times where emotional and mental wellbeing are so important.”

Radiodays Europe 2021: in-person and on-line

Radiodays Europe (RDE) 2021, which had been postponed due to the pandemic will now take place in Lisbon from October 9 to 11, 2021.
RDE 2021 will be a live in-person event at Lisbon Congress Center, as originally announced for March 2020, but it will also be available virtually, on-line.
If you registered for the event in 2020 your ticket is still valid for the event in 2021. It is your choice whether to travel and attend in person or to attend the event virtually.
Though local safety measures are still in place, Portugal is step by step opening up from pandemic restrictions and is now welcoming non-essential travellers from the EU, the Schengen area (Norway, Switzerland etc), UK, USA and some other countries. With the vaccine roll-out well on its way across Europe the general pandemic situation is expected to improve substantially over the coming months.
Travelling will also be made easier with the introduction of the electronic EU Covid-19 Vaccine Passport this summer, which will show if you are fully vaccinated or if you have a recent negative test, if that should be required at the time of your travel.
Radiodays Europe will give you guidance and update you on the situation in Portugal in general, and travel in particular, over the coming months leading up to the event on 9-11 October.
Registration opens shortly.
