ANNOUNCEMENT: Web Radio Award Nomination for Grooveline
I found out today that I have been nominated in the category of "Best Funk DJ", for Grooveline, in the Web Radio Awards Spring 2005 poll. Addtionally, Blast 1386 have been nominated as "Best College Station", as well as having other presenters nominated in other categories. Of course, now I will ask every single one of you to vote for me, and for Blast! Go to www.webradioawards.com, click on "Vote Now", read the T's & C's, scroll down to the "Best Funk DJ" category and vote for "Stephen Howie". Don't forget to vote for Blast 1386 in the "Best College Station" category too. If Grooveline was to win the award, it would only raise the profile of the show and make it bigger and better. It would also be a great accolate for Blast 1386, especially if the station won in other categories too. Many thanks for you help and continued support. It's all for you. Stephen Howie
ANNOUNCEMENT: Grooveline/Stephen Howie Charity Special
From Monday 25th until Friday 29th April, Blast 1386 will be broadcasting 6 and 12 hour shows around the clock, raising money for the PALS and Antics UK-based charities. As part of this, I will be presenting a live 12 hour show on Blast 1386 on Thursday 28th April from 7am until 7pm (UK time). During the show you will hear a range of music, but you can be sure I'll throw in many Grooveline classics to the mix. Additionally, sometime during that week there will be a special 6 hour long compilation of Grooveline overnight between 1am and 7am. Details of which night that is likely will be posted here as soon as it is known.
