On Thursday morning Facebook was bombarded with exclamations of disbelief and disgruntlement following the news that as from October Joe Tanti will no longer host the Breakfast Show on Radio Malta. I and so many others were shocked to say the least.

There is an English cockney saying that goes “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. I can’t imagine why anyone would make such a mistake. It was no easy task keeping the listeners tuned in amids so many interruptions, sports, news, newspaper reports and of course the very ill-timed obituaries; but Joe Tanti did ...and so well.

He is positive and entertaining with a knowledge and appreciation of good music that is so apparent. His professional dedication, coupled with unpretentious warmth and humility, cannot be equalled.

He formed a family of listeners who will follow him wherever he goes.
