[Swprograms] FONLAC, Proms, Turkmen music on BBC

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** U K. While North America was able to listen to FONLAC live, Xmas eve morning
at 1500 UT via numerous public radio stations, in Britain itself, the Bach
marathon on BBCR3 kept right on going, and instead Festival of Nine Lessons &
Carols appears as soon as Bach is relaid to rest, Sunday Dec 25 at 1600 UT.
That is just as well for those of us who missed the original broadcast. 

FONLAC was also live on the BBCWS Eu and Am streams at 1502 UT Saturday, and
repeats at the same time on Sunday, not much help for North Americans where
there is no loud and clear SW frequency at that hour; and there are no repeats
at other times of day, unlike previous years.

A few US public radio stations do repeat it later. See our holiday specials
page links: one such is KCSC in OK, UT Mon Dec 26 at 0100.

BBCR3 is also repeating a few of last summer`s Prom concerts beginning Dec 25
at 1830. These continue thru January 6, tho not every day, generally at 1930;
for details see http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/proms2005highlights/pip/archive/

Later on BBCR3 Sun Dec 25, 2215-2400: 
Andy Kershaw Christmas in Ashgabat

Turkmenistan is a curious, little-visited place where the months of the year
are named after the President's family, beards are illegal, and there's a
public holiday for the honeydew melon. 

Andy substitutes his traditional seasonal fare for a glass of Presidential
Vodka, a Christmas kebab, and a generous helping of Turkmen national folk
music, in the first British documentary made inside one of the world's most
autocratic states (via Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
