Jonathan Ross has thrown his support behind Danny Baker's proposed crowdfunded radio station.

Baker declared his intentions on Twitter yesterday (March 21), writing: "I think I am going to crowd fund my own radio station. Seriously. Anyone in?"

He added: "As soon as the crowd funding target has been calculated I will post its details. Thank you for all the early encouragement.

"As far as content goes Radio Free Europe (provisional title) will be giddy and happy and clever. Where 'No News is Good News'. Literally."

Baker joked: "I will run the station like Peter Cook used to run Private Eye. I will only interfere should someone say 'banter' or praise Queen."

He added: "I hope when we can ask for crowd funding you can help. For my part I will pull together the best radio talent I know…"
