SAVE BIRDSONG FM!!
Becoming something of a celebrity in recent weeks, Birdsong
FM is a radio station available on DAB Digital Radio. With no
adverts or interruptions the station is essentially 18 hours a
day of birdsong which is currently replacing the now defunct
OneWord Station.
DigitalOne chairman, Quentin Howard, made the popular
recording in his garden back in 1991, unaware that his attempt
to record sounds for amateur theatre would later prove to be
a hit with digital listeners.
Over the past few weeks, Birdsong FM has grown to be hugely
popular, attracting the attention of the Telegraph (who spoke to
the Sound Approach's very own Mark Constantine on the issue),
as well as the BBC and developing it's own Facebook following.
Birdsong FM will be on the air until it is bought out by a more
permanent commercial broadcaster, which will be a shame to
the half million plus listeners who have tuned in. To show your
support go to Birdsong FM. |
