No, you don\u2019t need to set your clocks to fall backwards just yet, but depending on where you have your listening post, you might want to grab some tea and biscuits for some later night listening.<\/p>\n<p>The show will now go out on <strong>0200 UTC Mondays<\/strong> on <strong>9395 kHz<\/strong> and then repeated at <strong>0300 UTC<\/strong> on <strong>9455 kHz<\/strong>. That is four hours later than the time you all have become accustomed to, so translated into Eastern Time we will now be on at 10 pm Sunday evening. This is good news for all the night owls out there, and also good news for those on the West Coast where the show will air at 7 pm Sunday Evening.<\/p>\n<p>The first show for the new times is the debut of <strong>WMMR \u2013 Mystery Mix Radio<\/strong> where DJ Frederick will be putting together a mix up show from his eclectic record collection, so expect an interesting selection.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the shows please email imaginarystations@gmail.com and check out our old shows <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mixcloud.com\/kmtsradio\/\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8qpNhL3ICtA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi all of the SWLing Post Community, FastRadioBurst 23 bringing you news of this week&#8217;s Imaginary Stations broadcasts.
