Ribble Valley Media era
The Dale Bamber Show started broadcasting on Ribble Valley Media as from August 2009. However Dale had his first involvment in November 2007…when he decided to revive what was Ribble Valley radio. With a little help from his RVR radio pals things started getting underway of building a new community radio station in Clitheroe.
Dale’s Got Talent
April 2010 saw the return of Britains Got Talent. April also saw a major shake up in The Dale Bamber Show and this new on air feature was introduced. It was gameshow called ‘Dale’s Got Talent’ One week, Dale set Heather a task and the week after Heather set Dale a task. Dale and Heather will go head to head to see who is the most talented. Whoever had the most points at the end of the series of Britains Got Talent wins. So the big question is…does Dale have talent?

American Idol 2010 - Katie Stevens Vs Todrick Hall
Throughout ‘The American Idol Talk’ series on The Dale Bamber Show’ series Dale has backed Katie Stevens. When Dale read out the final 24 Paj said he wanted to back Todrick Hall. But why? Because he likes his name! So it was Dale Vs Paj as they went head to head throughout the semi final performances of American Idol. Who won the argument? Dale or Paj? And who progressed the furthest on American Idol? Katie Stevens or Todrick Hall?
We caught up with Dale before the argument to ask him about this. “Wow. big argument. Some people are saying i’m backing her because of her story in her audition…which isn’t true. Some people say i’m backing her because she looks like Lea Michelle from Glee…once again…that’s not the reason. Im backing her because I believe she is a really good singer and has alot of talent and potential. Least I’m doing it off talent…unlike Paj!”
Dale won the argument as as the show approached the final 12, Todrick Hall got voted off by the American public and also making Paj lose the argument between Katie vs Todrick. Dale spoke after the show dated 14th March 2010 “See I told you all I could pick talent and that she would beat Todrick Hall. Lets hope she can go all the way and be the next American Idol”
Dale’s Supermarket Sweep
Dale brought you a new on air feature to The Dale Bamber Show in 2010. Based on the 1990’s daytime TV gameshow…Dale’s Supermarket Sweep!
The game was slightly different to the TV show. Each week, Dale brought in various products from a well known supermarket and Paj had to guess the price of each product. (Recomended Retail Price) Dale spoke out about this on air feature. “Believe it or not…I was originally meant to start this on air feature on the pilot edition of The Dale Bamber Show back in April 2007 but at the last minute I pulled it. Im not quite sure why I pulled it all those years ago or why it has taken 3 years to broadcast it…but now its filnally on the air!”
Dale Bamber/ Finn from Glee Look-a-like - January 2010
A new year and The Dale Bamber Show is amazed at how the US hit TV show Glee has taken over the UK charts. However…does Dale look like one of the main characters? This came to Dale’s attention on the official Taylor Swift Forum and he meantioned it on his show. Paj says there was some similarities but Dale was adimant that he didnt look like Finn. We caught up with Dale after the show, “I dont look like him! Honestly, I cant see the similarities…everybody says its mainly the eyes and the hair…I dont know…what do you think?”
