We where shocked to receive an email this weekend to tell us that the Station Director that we have so often talked about on our show from Radio Basingstoke is retiring from Internet radio!This leaves radio Basingstoke without a director, without an owner and not on air any more. 

So we are without a home at the moment!!

John the station director said:

" It has been an amazing experience and it has been a pleasure to work with you all in creating a unique listening experience. Your help, and patience sometimes when we suffered from the problems arising from running on a shoestring budget, has always been very much appreciated."

The Dark warrior and I have been chatting about this and as far as we can see it we have three options:

1. Find another station
   
2. Put the show online and just broadcast it ourselves through iTunes, mixcloud and our own website - go independent
   
3. look at taking over Radio Basingstoke

What do you think?  We would love to know your opinions!

Send us a tweet or leave us a comment below.  We would love to know your thoughts!

We are off Air.  We aren't broadcasting at the moment.  You might be wondering what happened??

Well two weeks ago our show wasn't aired because of "server problems" that the station director told us about. 

After that we received an email from the station director saying he had changed the times of our show.  So after working hard to promote it as Sunday at noon for the last year we are now moving!

I replied asking if he could explain the new times to us as they didn't seem that good:

Monday 10:00 - 11:00
Thursday 09:00 - 10:00
Thursday 20:00 - 21:00
Saturday 18:00 - 19:00

What do you think of the new listening times? 

So at the moment until we can have a meeting with the station director to clear things up and work out where we are going we are off air! 

We have two best of radio shows to release to you shortly.  All the highlights from our first year on air!  Very excited to get them out to you when this is resolved.

We might also send them to some bigger stations and see what response we get! 

Let us know your thoughts below!

On this week's show you have to tune in to hear two Frankensteins, one director and special guest Lynne Cervi reading out the internet news!

We have on the show Hartley Arts Group (HAG), two of the cast of their latest show which will be out in October and the show director.  Make sure you tune in on Sunday at noon to hear from them.  Below is the trailer for their latest production.

On this week's show we also have the fabulous Lynne Cervi (who has always wanted to be a newsreader) reading the internet news.

Yes, she has been surfing the net to bring us the latest news and information as well as things that might actually be interesting.  Make sure you tune in to hear Lynne talking on air this Sunday at noon on the Alan Donegan Show!

If you think she was good, then tweet her and tell her to come on and do it again! @LynneCervi

We are always looking for guests to be on the show so if you fancy being on air then get in touch

We make the radio show for you so we always want to know what you think!  What did you enjoy?  Which segments did you hate? What do you want more of? Get in touch or tweet Alan directly @alandonegan

Let us know what super hero you would be and we will read out the best on air!  Tune in on Sunday to hear the Batman Dark Knight Rises special episode and catch all the Super Hero banter!

This week's radio show guest got 1.2 million YouTube hits on one video.  She got to the semi finals for Britain's Got Talent.

Simon Cowell said she was posh.  She is from Basingstoke!
Those last two might be an oxymoron but we are very pleased to have Lauren Thalia on this week's show.

Lauren is coming with her guitar to sing for us,  so make sure you tune in to hear Lauren singing live on Radio Basingstoke this weekend.

Lauren got to the Semi Finals of "Britain's Got Talent" which you can see here:

So tune in on Sunday at noon to hear Lauren.  You can get all the details of when her show will be aired here

And of course Elizabeth Hurley is from Basingstoke as well.  Can you believe it?

So Basingstoke has produced its fair share of famous people but which should we invite on the show?  Who do you want us to interview?

If you know one of these ultra glamorous people then tell them we can revive their careers in Basingstoke or just tell us who you would like to see on the show.

Leave a comment below as to who you would like us to interview on the show coming up!

Have a great weekend and tune in to the next show.

Today we are at donington park racetrack recording the show. The dark warrior was able to get us Pitt stop and paddock passes so we have made the journey up north to where the people are friendlier, the food is chips and gravy and the racing is Fast!

We are all here in the media studio starting the recording of the show now and it is going to be a good one. We have been interviewing the drives in the Pitts and watching the races!
