With “Most Wanted” became Ray Cokes’ figurehead for MTV Europe in the 1990s. Four times a week he chatted over the phone to viewers from all over Europe on his London live show, brought stars like Take That and The Cure into the studio and chatted everyone in front of and behind the camera.
In recent years he has worked for public television in France, introduced newcomer bands at the “Reeperbahn Festival” in Hamburg, hosted a 90s retro show on the Berlin radio station FluxFM and published his autobiography (” My Most Wanted Life: In front of the camera, behind the camera and in general “; published in Germany by Schwarzkopf & Schwarzkopf).
Cokes recently relocated from Tarifa in Spain to Berlin and has been broadcasting his interactive live show “Home” on his Facebook channel for two weeks independently of program directors, which is hardly inferior to “Most Wanted” in terms of anarchy. He chats with the audience via video and the comment function, observes his bird feeder under the roof with an outside camera, tells jokes and makes his distinctive grimaces.
He also drives the show on his own technically and if he forgets to switch the microphone back on, the viewers immediately inform him. It is precisely the professional imperfection and the opportunities for interaction that make the show so attractive, which, according to Cokes, is to be continuously improved and expanded with the help of the audience. The previous two editions can be recorded as a on his channel be considered. The next edition is announced for next Tuesday (February 16, 2021) at 7:30 p.m.
