I turned on the radio this morning and to my surprise it was tuned to a local community radio station called BC FM. They were playing Glinka's Ruslan and Ludmilla
but they then cut to "national news on the hour, live from the Sky newsroom". When I listened to them again later they were jingling that "we play more Bristol music than any other station in the country" - no shit! - although that particular DJ, who had an Irish accent, didn't play anything not made in the USA before about 1970. Later there was a programme "for Bristol's Caribbean and African communities" which included, bizarrely, some astronomy (did you know yesterday was perihelion?) as well as a calypso song which stuck in my mind for rhyming "bassline grooving" with "waistlines moving".
The DJs seemed slightly amateur but then they probably are - no adverts so I can't see they'd have enough money to pay them - and the range of music more than made up for it. So I now say I rather like local radio, in this version at least!
