Beware The Wild Winds - a radio programme for ANZAC Day

[PeteP]

I wouldn’t normally presume to mention one of my radio programmes here – I’m not sure that me introducing classical music on the Tuesday Lunchtime Concert (today at 12 noon if anyone’s interested) or presenting the 15-part story of the Strauss family on Saturday afternoons would be to everyone's taste – but tomorrow (Wednesday 25 April) I’ll be doing a special aviation-related programme for ANZAC Day.

I wrote and produced Beware The Wild Winds – a radio tribute to the air and ground crew who served with 485 and 486 (NZ) Squadrons at Tangmere between 1942 and 1944 – at the request of an Auckland radio station specifically for a New Zealand audience on this year’s ANZAC Day. It’ll be broadcast by several NZ stations including TRN at various times throughout the day but it is also getting a UK broadcast on my local radio station, Angel Radio.

If anyone is interested in listening, it’s on Angel at 9am on Wednesday 25 April and lasts 40 minutes.
For those in the Havant, Emsworth, Portsmouth and Gosport areas, Angel is on 101.1 FM.
For those further afield in South Hampshire, East Dorset and West Sussex, Angel can be heard on DAB on the South Hants Network.
For anyone else, Angel streams its programmes on the Internet at http://www.angelradio.co.uk. Just click on ‘listen live’ and select the medium – Windows Media Player usually works well. It’s also available on iPhone, iPad etc via ‘TuneIn Radio’ and other apps and also various WiFi radio networks.

I should mention that the Angel Internet stream is not the best quality I’ve ever heard but I hope that won’t spoil your enjoyment and it runs a few minutes behind the FM broadcast so don’t worry if it doesn’t start on the dot of 9am.

I hope some of you will be able to listen.

Well, I suppose I've been talking through a microphone over the radio for most of my working life so all I do now is say different things to a different "audience".

...but you're still dealing with "Classics" here at CBFS. Thanks for the hu Pete. I've added Angel Radio to my 'favorites' list.

Now, that's what I call dedication, Brian. Isn't 9am in the UK 3am in Texas?
Pete

[FlyTexas]

I believe it's 4am here.

[PeteP]

Oh, that's OK then.

You couldn't make it up! After teeing everyone up for this morning's Beware The Wild Winds, Angel Radio is in severe danger of going off the air before or during the transmission. We had a heavy storm here last night and water is pouring into the studio from the flats above and part of the ceiling has already collapsed. The, station manager Tony Smith, is keeping things going as long as he can.

The main problem for anyone listening outside the local area is that the web site has gone down although the Internet stream is still running. As an alternative to the Angel site, you can tune in by going here: http://tunein.com/radio/Angel-Radio-1011-s45400/
