Due to the financial crisis in the UK the EMR Internet Service will only be online every 3rd Saturday - Sunday and Monday of the month as from tonight the 21st of April 2009. European Music Radio is very sorry to lose our 24 hour service, but hopefully this service will return very soon!

Problems with the delivery of WRTH2009.

Posted by theradioinformer at 07:52 AM on February 13, 2009 Comments comments (0)

From www.mediumwave.info

WRTH
I have noticed that quite a few people are/have had problems with the delivery of WRTH2009. The publisher is also aware of this and has asked me to send the following explanation:

"We are very sorry for the delay in shipping of WRTH 2009 by Amazon.com. Copies of the book reached the Port of New York on December 16. They were trucked from there in a sealed container direct to the distribution center in Virginia, USA. They should, and could easily have been, released from there before Christmas. For some reason they did not get released *officially* until January 15. We think they were actually released on February 2.
We are aware that the late delivery to Amazon has also had an impact on readers and clubs all over the world who ordered from Amazon.com or from websites who do so.
This is the worst distribution performance ever in any country for any edition of WRTH. Next year we will be using a different distribution system.
Nicholas Hardyman
Publisher
World Radio TV Handbook"

I can only apologise for the distribution problems from Amazon. You can order direct from our website as well as your usual sources [see WRTH spot to your right on this page/ed].

“Old Dutch Rocker” Eric van Willegen, who runs The Mighty KBC Radio, has hired a 100 kW shortwave transmitter in Lithuania to blast 1960s rock’n’roll all over Europe this Christmas. “Let the kids listen to their I-Pods” Eric insists “We’re running a real radio station playing real 60s Rock’n’Roll for those of us used to twiddling with the knobs, and if there’s a bit of hiss and whistle included, well that’s all part of the experience!”

The Mighty KBC Radio will be heard on Christmas and Boxing Day (25 and 26 December)  from 1000-1530 UTC on 9770 kHz , and again at 2130-2230 UTC on 6055 kHz with tapes of the legendary Wolfman Jack Show. The full details are on www.kbcradio.eu.
