Phil Easton and Kim Hughes
3/2/09 Page Update: It is with a very heavy heart that I have to say that sadly Phil Easton passed away on Monday 2nd February 2009 from a brain haemorrhage. I had the pleasure of spending 15mins every Tuesday with Phil & Kim on the City Talk breakfast show for nearly 12 months. Being on the air was daunting for an IT geek like me and Phil's relaxed welcoming personality made it just like chatting to my friends rather than doing a radio show.
Phil was a radio legend, it was an absolute pleasure to have graced his company.
Below is a page about the 'breakfast radio dream team' Phil Easton and Kim Hughes. I wrote this for one of the very first shows we did. Phil found the "modified picture of him" below, rather amusing so I decided to leave it on this page. Here is a picture of the great man himself, without my photoshop skills applied. For those of you who never met or heard Phil, there is a youtube video of him from one of the opening podcasts from City Talk that Kim and Phil did.
You can leave your comments and thoughts below if you wish.
City Talk is a superb local radio station in Liverpool where you might occasionally hear members of the Bike Insurer team speaking.
As you maybe aware, every Monday to Friday, from 6am to 9am, Phil Easton and Kim Hughes present a great breakfast radio show on City Talk FM, the leading Liverpool based radio station.
There are loads of things that are good about the Phil Easton and Kim Hughes breakfast show, including their ability to laugh at funny photos of themselves, see below.
Aswell as the amusing pics, there is a great mix of news, debate and most of all, fun on the Phil Easton and Kim Hughes breakfast show, all delivered in a light hearted and humerous way, designed to make its listeners smile on the way to work.
Dont forget, to tune into the Phil Easton and Kim Hughes breakfast show, just set your radio to 105.9 FM and catch City Talk 7 days, every week.

The Great Easton Express was one of Phils finest moments. I enjoyed every minute of hearing Phil on the Radio.
A sad loss for Merseyside and to Phils friends and Family. My thoughts are with them all.
Rest in Peace Phil - A Radio LEGEND !!!

The 6-9 morning slot will never be the same for me again (no reflection at all on those who remain). Phil and Kim were a dream team for sure.
I feel a deep sadness, and a personal loss, as I write these words, he was a huge part of so many lives, even if they never met him (I am one of those people)
My sincere condolences to Phil’s family and my heart goes out to Kim too who must feel she has lost a vital part of herself too.
His beloved pet dog will be pining for him I am certain.
My God bless your soul and keep it safe with him Phil

Thanks Phil for so many great saturday nights down at the floral hall rock nights. The last one a couple of years ago was great, the magic was certainly brought back. When you said hello southport you always loved our reply. If you were there you would know what i mean.
Thanks again rest in peace you will be sorely missed.
