Talk Radio UK
He joined Talk Radio UK for its launch in February 1995 where he became known as a shock jock. He presented the weeknight (Mondays-Fridays) phone in between 22:00 and 01:00. He was joined on some Friday evenings by football agent Eric Hall and lawyer Gary Jacobs. He regularly combined his programme with a similar American show presented by Tom Leykis, alternating between UK and US callers.
He continued his ambitious practical jokes during his time at Talk Radio. Another such wind-up involved making listeners believe he was broadcasting his show from the street outside the Talk Radio building in protest at the station's anti-smoking policy. In reality, he was producing his show from inside the studio with a microphone hanging from the window to pick up the background noises of the street below.
During his tenure at TRUK, he was often accompanied by the show's Canadian Producer Colin Lloyd, assistants Dixie, Jane and Aphrodite, and the man on the phones, also called Tony (although renamed by Caesar as Bogey – "Because he always gets up my nose" being the explanation.)
He was fired from Talk Radio in September 1995, along with fellow controversial presenter Terry Christian, as part of a station shake up to tackle sagging ratings. After this he brought his phone-in show to Galaxy 101 in Bristol for a short time, as well as a brief stint, slightly toned down, on London's LBC. At around this time, he also started doing voice links for UK porn TV station, The Adult Channel; and presented a programme called Caesar's Rude Arena for Television X. He was also a weeknight DJ for Capital Gold in the second half of the 1990s.
He Joined Capital Gold and did his own show pulling over some of his Talk Radio listeners and had an audience of over 2.4 Million
Chris Rogers then retired from radio to pursue a career in Marketing and promotions.
