Janice Long has died

Very ignorant but who is Janice Long

Sorry, she was 66

She was a DJ and if I remember rightly Keith Chegwin sister

Oh no.

Thank you shinamae she’s never crossed my path

A trailblazer in 1982 with a couple of others for the subsequent female DJs on Radios 1 & 2. Bless her.

I saw that just now. It's sad as she was 66 and far too young. I liked her as a broadcaster and she had great taste in music.

So sad she was 66 and her brother Keith was 60 far too young

She was just so friendly sounding and a radio natural.
The music industry in the 80’s and Radio 1 in particular must have been quite a toxic environment for her to work in as well

So sad and far too young. I remember her on Top of the Pops (first female to host it) and late night on Radio 2.

Yes that family have lost two people at a relatively young age. I liked her as a broadcaster.

I was shocked when Dh told me just now! Far too young. I didn’t know she was Keith Chegwin’s brother, how sad for their families.

So sad ?
I agree she did have great taste in music
My condolences to her family

Rip Janice ?

How sad.

How sad, I wonder what she died from.

Yes, I've just read it on the newspage . How sad .....

I hadn’t realised Keith Chegwin was her brother and that he had died a couple of years ago. I remember Janice Long very well from Top of the Pops. She was the first female presenter of the programme.
