Announcements of Radio & Internet radio broadcasts

[Mark Thomas]

The advent of internet radio has meant that broadcasts of otherwise unavailable music by unsung composers can be listened to, and recorded, anywhere in the world. This is the place to post announcements of them. I suggested that for clarity's sake, we start an new topic for each new broadcast. Also, to keep the signal to noise ratio low, as a general rule there's no great benefit from posting that a radio station is broadcasting an existing commercial recording.

The major European radio stations do broadcast gems from time to time, and the several German regional stations, together with Polish, Dutch , Italian national radio stations (and even the BBC!) are particularly worth checking up on regularly.

I've started things off by repeating below the two announcements we've had elsewhere in the last week...

Thanks for this initiative, Mark. It'll make things much easier for everyone and tidy up the forum in general.

[Gareth Vaughan]

Hear, hear! Many thanks, Mark.

[Mark Thomas]

I've just posted a new topic here, which lists the stations I usually check.

For anyone who wants to record internet radio, I use a fabulous product called ReplayAV (used to be called Replay Radio, and frankly I liked the original version better. They've added a bunch of bells and whistles I never use, but the problems of feature creep are not for this forum).

Anyway it is like a Tivo for internet radio. You can schedule broadcasts you wish to capture regularly or on an ad hoc basis and it records them and saves them to your hard drive. It also supports conversion to the format of your choice (mp3 at different quality settings, some others). You can also have it automatically delete programs older than a certain date to preserve disc space.  They have a large db of existing internet stations or you can manually enter your own. It's pretty straightforward to use and I highly recommend it.

Anyway, more info can be found here:

Thanks, John, that's a new one on me.
