(3 &#8211; 5 p.m. UTC).<\/p>\n<p>At this point, it may be obvious that WLHA is not your average automated Internet radio station. It used to be the campus carrier-current station at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and was recently resurrected by Alumni via online streaming. Today it broadcasts 24\/7 via the Internet and features DJ&#8217;s from the station&#8217;s past as well as newcomers from all over the country (and now the world) like Duncan who obviously did not attend UW. In addition to some pre-recorded shows, the station hosts a popular &#8220;Friday Night Live&#8221; call-in show from its Madison studios.<\/p>\n<p>WLHA Program Director Kevin &#8220;Casey the K&#8221; Peckham decided Duncan&#8217;s personality would be a great addition to WLHA&#8217;s &#8220;Music and Malarkey&#8221; format. Duncan, who is still living in the UK, gladly accepted the offer and added, &#8221; My wife, Pamela is thrilled to bits that her husband has finally fulfilled his dream to be on American radio.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Duncan will be interviewed this Sunday the 11th at 7 a.m. during the Lee Harris show, which precedes his inaugural program on the station. The interview will also be repeated from 7 &#8211; 10 p.m. on Sunday night. We&#8217;re very excited to announce this new addition to our air staff and hope many of you will have a chance to tune in.<\/p>\n<p>You can listen to WLHA on Live365, through our app for iOS and Android, Radio Garden, Amazon Alexa or directly through the website at <a href=\"http:\/\/lakeshore64.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lakeshore64.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>James Copeland<br \/>\nWLHA News Director<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thank you for sharing, James!
