Britain Radio Int remembers...
After the sad news ref: Colin Dixon passing away very suddenly last weekend BRI will be on air with a 60 min programme to reflect over the past week or so with some of our thoughts along with audio clips to play, and of course a selection of music.
We must also mention about the sad news of Stefan Dietl. We hope to use 6255khz for this broadcast on Sunday starting at 10am UK time, it will also be running on our webstream, being repeated from 11am then followed by Colin Dixon's final show, thanks to Laser Hot Hits.

I notice on the alfalima site there has been a lot of wild speculation about what's happened to WMR's website which is offline at the moment. I remember hearing Jack advising people last weekend to use the old WMR email address so he must've known there were problems. We might have to wait to hear if WMR are on air this weekend with an explanation. Let's hope it's nothing serious!
