KMRT back on those airwaves of ours

Hello all shortwave listeners and SWLing community. FastRadioBurst 23 here with news of the Imaginary Stations radio shows this week. This Sunday October 6th 2024 there’s a return to the supermarket shelves with KMRT via the services of Shortwave Gold at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then at 2000 UTC on 6160 kHz and 3975 kHz (night shelf stackers workload permitting).

Plus on Wednesday October 9th 2024 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz we’ve another episode of KMRT via WRMI for your listening pleasure.

Both these programmes are part of the Supermarkets on Shortwave 2024 broadcasts. Expect nearing their sell by date and marked down classics, a heart warming song from The KMRT Trainee Managers Choir called “The customer is always right”, some shopping trolley sing-a-longs, a look at supermarket radio from around the world and a roving reporter hidden in a stack of Teddy Bears ready to jump out at a unsuspecting member of the public (*subject to availability and while stocks last of course). Here’s our trailer, happy shopping!

We are looking for some financial help to cover our production and transmission costs for our shows on shortwave so here’s our fundraising video below. We’d love to keep our show on the air well into the new year and we are looking for donations (no matter how small as everything helps) to keep our eclectic shows bouncing off that ionosphere. Remember, radio connects us all!
