As such they are recognised as the forerunners of today's commercial and BBC music stations.He said: "To recognise and pay tribute to this achievement Scotland 69AM.com will broadcast new shows, hosted by seven of the pirate DJs who will tell their stories and play music for eight hours."Share article Tony will be one of the broadcasters, beginning on New Year's Day. He is one of the founders of Scotland 69AM which is an award-winning internet station reaching 190 countries globally.The former local resident, who has a professorship in public relations, having run the successful TM company in Glasgow for decades, is the administrator of the Kelburn Windfarm Trust. _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
