Radio Basingstoke no more!

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!

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

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

Famous people from Basingstoke

Who do you know that is famous from Basingstoke??

We have been looking for people to interview from Basingstoke (that is where our show is based) and we thought who is famous from Basingstoke.

It turns out that two of the Gladiators from the 90's hit game show that kept me busy on Saturday nights are from Basingstoke!  Do you know who?

Trojan (third from the left) and Falcon (fourth from the left) where both born in Basingstoke.  Can you believe it?  Two Gladiators from Basingstoke.  That gives us an above average number of genuine Gladiators per capita in Basingstoke.

Why are we not a city?

Do you know any one else who is famous from Basingstoke?  Who should we invite onto the show and interview?

Who do you know that is from Basingstoke and Famous??

Picture
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.
