Who remembers the "Love Line" ?

Holy moly, had totally forgotten about that. That was how to get kids to listen to Manx Radio.

 

One of the guys at work has a radio and he now has it tuned to 3FM and only switches it over to Manx for the Mannin Line when previously it would be on Manx all day. Guess he won't have to fiddle with his knobs anymore now.

P.S Please excuse the grammer, but i simply cannot spell fort.The real one that is.

 

You can't spell grammar either. ;)

 

Amazing really, i went to a grammar! school and i still can't spell it, thats before the kindly chap mission gave me help.

 

Any way one sorely misses Mr.Pedantic..would be nice if Mission recreated himself as .....Dah dah...Pedantic mission..!!!

 

My reason being, Mission seems a decent chap Mr. Pedantic was always a helpful chap = A poster that is a jolly decent, helpful chap.

 

PEDANTIC MISSION

 

A jolly decent chap that will help with one's grammar.

When I read the most recent poster was 'Grumble', I expected to read something quite different to that :-)

 

It was a pleasant surprise - just goes to show you eh?

The programmes I'm primarily involved in are Mandate and Midday Mandate - both an hour of Manx and international news, current affairs, sport, business, and weather.

 

We're trying to get more live guests on the lunchtime show, and while we're only 3 days in (I did say it would take a week or so to get used to it) I'm pleased to say that people DO appear keener to arrive between 1230 and 1330 than at silly o'clock in the morning.

 

At 1730 we have Mandate PM - a half-hour update of the day's news.

 

Also, on Friday at noon will be the start of series 3 of our motoring programme Ignition, which is my weekly chance to rant about speed limits and Nissan Micra drivers...

 

The main changes are that the Mannin Line has been replaced at noon during the week by one of our specialist programmes each day, followed by Midday Mandate. It will still form a platform for views and discussion on Sundays at 1300 hosted by Roger Watterson (or David Callister).

 

As the new website is sorted and firing on all cylinders, I'm sure that each of the programme titles will have a description of what it's about - but in the interim, if you're not sure, feel free to email me at the station via stuartpeters@manxradio.com

 

I'm the first to admit I'm sometimes resistant to change... and I know I'm not alone... but give us a few more days for the dust to settle before judging whether you think what we're trying to achieve is an improvement or not.
