[Swprograms] Fwd: [uk-radio-listeners] RTE Medium Wave Goodbye programme

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

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...

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.
