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!

The on Wednesday October 2nd 2024 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz we have the return of WDWD – Off the Map Radio via WRMI. It’s as they say “an audio journey in the wrong direction to the wrong destination” but wherever we end up, they’ll be tunes mentioning place names, locations, compass points and maps.

Hi it’s FastRadioBurst 23 here letting you know what Imaginary Stations will be bringing to you via the shortwaves this week. On Sunday 25th August 2024 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then at 2000 UTC on 6160 kHz and 3975 kHz they have WEST via Shortwave Gold. Don’t worry, there won’t be any quick on the draw competitions or mandatory poncho wearing but just some great western inspired tunes with whistling, twangy guitars, a bit of yodelling and some banjo picking. So next Sunday sit by the chuck waggon and put the shortwave radio on and strum along with your guitar to the sound of WEST.

Then via WRMI on Wednesday 28st August 2024 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz we’ll be bringing you yet another version of WEST for you campfire listening pleasure. So gather around the radio with all of your stablemates and enjoy a great old programme of way out western fun.
