Fessenden

The BBC World Service programme goes out at 2332z on 19th Dec. and piggy-backs on the net.This is a smashing programme and includes both Machrihanish and Brant Rock interviews and also input from Drumlemble School and other locals. Well worth hearing to let people see how much history lies here.I actually received a CD from the BeeB today of the show.
The programme is called Discovery and is aired several times.It is also on Ch.0115 on Sky TV.Best check the BBC World service web site for times.

Additionaly the BBC Radio 3 programme (a completely different production )goes out at approx 1940z on 23rd Dec. Again on Internet but also on FM locally.This is during an interval of a live opera from NY Metro.

BBC Today programme details not yet finalised.

Up to 6 programmes have now been broadcast on the BBC World Service and today Canada goes nationwide with "Sounds like Canada" programme on from Newfoundland right over to Vancouver at various times to suit the locations

Another BBC programme still due to go out on 23rd. The ones heard so far have really been excellent.

Radio Solent Radio Medway also airing locally produced stuff together with 6 local radio stations in U.S. of A.

US Govt. proclamations by GWB. and Vice Pres. Chenney plus Ted Kennedy are pending from across the water.

All those programmes carry substantial input from Campbeltown sources


Thats all folks.
