Hampden-Moeraki Local Radio: October 2012

This entry takes us up to early February. Note: I will not be in the studio on Christmas Day, so there is no entry for that day.
The programme may be changed or suspended without notice, but not if I can help it.
News from the Independant News Network (INN) is broadcast at 5pm and 9pm, followed by a bulletin of sports news (5 pm) and rural news (9pm) and the weather from MetService.

At 6.30pm each Tuesday, an item is played from the "Vast Historical Archives of Wireless". I do not usually know what this item will be until just before it is played. Hence there is no listing for it.
