Baby Boomer returns to TLC, Yamba.

  

From Monday 3rd. of May, the Baby Boomer Radio show returns to TLC 100.3, going to air between 12 midday and 2:00 PM. 

 

The Baby Boomer Radio Show returns!

Yes, indeed it has!
Not to TLC-FM 100.3 in Yamba, however, but to Valley FM 89.5 in the ACT.

This is the station where I first became involved in community radio, back at the beginning of this century and even when I moved here to Yamba in 2014 I would record the local show, edit it down to an hour and that would then be aired on Valley FM later in the week.
A similar procedure will be used for the revived program and whilst the program kicks off in a one-hour format, within a couple of weeks it will be extended to a two-hour show.

So commencing on Tuesday 3rd. December the new Baby Boomer will go to air at 1800 (6:00 PM) and will be replayed at 2105 (9:05 PM) each Thursday.

Format will be similar to what I've been doing for the past umpteen years; a veritable smörgåsbord of music with Top Forty hits from the Sixties, Seventies, Eighties, the occasional wander into the Nineties, Easy Listening, and every so often a snippet of comedy from some of the classic BBC radio shows of the 1950s and 1960s.

If you are a Baby Boomer then please join me and enjoy a relaxing trip down memory lane.
If you are a young whipper-snapper you just might hear something that you will enjoy!

After five-and-a-half years the Baby Boomer Radio Show on TLCFM 100.3 came to a close on Friday 1st. November.

(It had already finished on Valley FM 89.5 more than six month's previously.)

Should it ever be revived then I will advise here.

Program for Wednesday 16th. July 2014

Today we revisit the 4BC Top Forty of exactly 52 years ago - the week of 15th. July 1962.

I will be playing every one of the 40 Hit Tunes listed on the playlist shown above, so come and relive exactly what we were listening to over fifty years ago!

The Comedy Spot at 2:00 PM will feature another classic BBC "Hancock's Half-hour".

Program for Wednesday 9th. July

The Baby Boomer Radio Show - 12:00 Noon to 3:30 PM this Wednesday.

We revisit this week in 1963 and the Top Forty playlist from Brisbane radio station 4BC.

I have every song listed bar one - that of Connie Francis, "If My Pillow Could Talk", so I will be presenting 39 out of the 40. Not bad after 51 years!

In the 2:00 PM Comedy Spot it will be a Hancock's Half-hour, this one from the 8th. December 1959 and entitled "The Poetry Society".
It features Bill Kerr, Sid James and, of course, Tony Hancock. (L to R, below).

Relocating to Yamba, NSW

From May 21st. the Baby-Boomer Radio Show will be heard on 2TLC (The Lower Clarence) 100.3, the community radio station located in Yamba, on the mouth of the Clarence River.

The program is scheduled for Wednesday afternoons, from midday until 4:00 PM, and will follow the same format as has been presented for the past several years in Canberra.

Please join me and wallow in the deep end of the nostalgia pool of pop music and radio comedy from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
