Ronan Keating goes to Magic Breakfast Show

in just over a week’s time Ronan Keating will begin co presenting the breakfast show on Magic FM with fellow host Harriet Scott. Starts September 4th across the UK.

Ronan’s best holiday trip ever? The Maldives “The Ocean below you and these fishes and creatures, just different form the way I was born and raised”.

I think Bayside in Dublin isn’t so far from the Irish Sea and the Blue Lagoon Ronan! (but it isn’t the Maldives). Next ESPN will send a news crew to Dublin 13 looking for the ghetto.

Ronan’s previous radio hosting experience was in June 2015 filling in for the summer on Magic. He is an accomplished presenter on TV and once co presented the Eurovision Song Contest to hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

first all women radio station in the world

When Sam Phillips sold Elvis’ contract in 1955 he used the money to start an all girl radio station in Memphis, TN. Set in a pink, plush studio in the nations’ third Holiday Inn, it was a novelty—but not for long. He hired models, beauty queens, actresses, telephone operators. Some were young mothers who just needed a job. WHER was the first radio station to feature women as more than novelties and sidekicks. The WHER girls were broadcasting pioneers.

How Inclusive Is Community Media, Really?

from radiosurvivor.com
Sally Kane, CEO of the National Federation Community Broadcasters, has a question for community media: How inclusive are we, really? That’s the jumping off point for our conversation with Sally and her colleague Ernesto Aguilar, as they report back from the NFCB 2017 Conference, held in Denver, CO July 17 – 19. We discuss the value of focusing on what’s working in community media, as opposed to what’s not, creating a platform for true community voices, and embracing young generations of new community media leaders.

Total Eclipse of the Radio

Sky & Telescope / Leah Tiscione

With today’s (Monday August 21st) northern hemisphere total eclipse of the sun happening some radio stations will consider playing the Bonnie Tyler classic Total Eclipse Of The Heart. Remember don’t look directly at the sun as it will blind you.

Other more serious radio people will be experimenting how an eclipse (where nighttime happens during the day) will affect the radio bands.

In 1999 there was a total eclipse that touched Cornwall in the UK. At the time the Radio Communication Research Unit through promotions got 1700 people involved is a massive open experiment getting radio listeners to tune to 639KHz Radio La Coruna.

A paper on the experiments is available from RADIO AND THE 1999 UK TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE.

Today’s eclipse will cast a shadow around 18:30UTC and has a total eclipse around Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, northeastern Kansas, Missouri, Southern Illinois, Western Kentucky, Tennessee, Southwestern North Carolina, northeastern Georgia, South Carolina.

If you are not on this path or shadow you might be able to tune in to a radio over the internet using Web based SDR. Try SDR.HU where there are a few northern hemisphere radios. This receive station (64.136.200.36:8073) is in Kansas City which is north east as you can get in Kansas.

If you want to take part in the experiments today see American Radio Relay League invite page and Sky & Telescope invite here.
