ANNOUNCEMENT: Interruption to Friday's show

The Friday airing of this week's Grooveline was interrupted by a power cut in the Kings Road area of Reading, where Blast 1386 is based. Technicans at Reading College worked hard to get the station back on-air as soon as possible, and the 2nd hour of Grooveline went out as normal.
