AN AMERICAN fan of a York radio station travelled across the Atlantic to meet with fellow listeners.
Julie Jackson-Steele won a competition to come to England from Alabama, and decided to use the prize as an opportunity to meet up with her online friends and fellow listeners.
She said: “Every Saturday night I listen to the Diana Luke Show on BBC Radio York. On Sundays I listen to her show The Luke Of Love. On both nights I sit and chat on her Facebook page to the other listeners. Some of us have really bonded with tight friendships.”
Listeners from Harrogate, Hull, Sheffield and Leeds travelled to York to meet up and listen to the show.
