Hi to all

I’ll be live from South Wales to present the Music Machine today at 7 PM UK time, 2 PM US Eastern, featuring songs which launched radio stations in the UK.

The launch of a radio station here in britain was perhaps more important than it is now, but many people remember the first song to be played on their local station. Some reflect the geography of the area, others have a celebratory feel. but they're all good songs to hear, and that's what we're focusing on in this edition of the music machine, good vibrations, radio station launch songs.

Hi everyone. The few days between Christmas and the New Year, gives us a chance to look back at the year that was, and remember the good things it brought. Tomorrow in the usual Welcome to the Weekend slot, 7PM in Ireland and the UK, or 2PM Eastern, Brian D will be here to review the feel-good music that came our way during 2017.

There was a time when we didn't have music on demand. We couldn't have what we wanted, when we wanted it. There were no streaming media services or downloads. If you wanted to listen to your favourite song, and you didn't have the record, the most reliable way of hearing it was during the Top 20 or Top 40 on a Sunday evening.

Merry Christmas everyone. In the words of a song, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”. Christmas time is here, which means it’s time for the annual Welcome to the Weekend Christmas Party. Where ever you are in the world, I will open the doors on Friday, at 7PM in Ireland and the UK, that’s 2PM Eastern, and everyone is invited.

Live from a festive Dublin Town on the East Coast of Ireland, where the Craic will be 90, we’ll have 2 hours of Christmas tunes and plenty of friendly banter, to set you up for the holiday season.

Hi everyone. Traditionally when I was young, December 8th was always seen as the first day when the preparations for Christmas got into full swing. People from the country would come to Dublin town to start their Shopping, the festive decorations would be hung up and the Party season would kick into gear. By the end of this Weekend, I’ll have done all of the above.
