See below FYI. We in the USA can listen via RTE's streaming audio at http://www.rte.ie; it will be ironic if their streaming audio servers can't handle the demand...
Richard Cuff / Allentown, PA USA ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mike Barraclough <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, Mar 18, 2008 at 9:42 AM Subject: [uk-radio-listeners] RTE Medium Wave Goodbye programme To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MEDIUM WAVE GOODBYE, Monday 24th March, 1.30 p.m. to 3 p.m Presenter: Brendan Balfe RTE's broadcasts began life on the MW service as 2RN, later known as Radio Athlone and Raidió Éireann, and in more recent times as RTÉ Radio 1. RTÉ introduced the superior sound of the FM service in 1966 to counteract interference and poor reception on the medium wave band. For Medium Wave Goodbye, which will be broadcast on all wavelengths, on the internet and on RTE's digital radio trial service, Brendan has assembled a nostalgic programme highlighting some of his favourite moments on Irish radio. Brendan promises an entertaining and fascinating 90 minutes of memories of a service which has brought the world into homes all over the country since 1926, capturing moments of history and life through decades of news, sport, features and entertainment. The programme includes archive audio of request programmes, pop and trad music, features, documentaries and commentaries.
