Bernie Jameson worked for Radio Nova in 1984. She now does news on 4FM, Irelands new "semi-national" commercial broadcaster. I spoke with her recently on the phone. She is in grand form! Bernie married the chief engineer at Nova, Paul Cotter and now they have two kids together. Talk about a marraige made in a great radio station!
