\"\"<\/a>Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Bill Tilford, who notes:<\/p>\n

The last broadcast of From the Isle of Music from WBCQ The Planet will be March 3 from 2200-2300 UTC on 7490 kHz.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

He mentions that there simply hasn’t been the support from listeners in North America to continue broadcasting via WBCQ, thus listeners may need to use a WebSDR in order to listen to the regular broadcasts from Europe. Bill also notes:<\/p>\n

The last episode will be a killer Cuban dance party – I am going out with a bang, not a whimper.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We look forward to tuning in! Thank you, Bill, for your dedicated music services over shortwave!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
