The Marvellous Move

Having just moved from Randwick to Balmain, I know how difficult and fraught with disaster moving can be. I would like to congratulate 2MBS-FM on your seamless move at the end of May. I was envisioning having no 2MBS to listen to for maybe an hour or so; however I was thoroughly delighted that one minute Mike Sawyer was finishing his Jazz show and the next Pat Hopper said hello from your new studio.

Digital Direction

I read in the June issue of Fine Music that you will shortly be going digital and that you plan on initially providing the same content as you currently do. I would like to see you utilise the digital channel for broadcasting a variety of live and recorded performance by local musicians in both classical and jazz. It would be great to tune in and hear the presenter say ‘This is 2MBS-FM Digital coming to you live from...’. The digital channel could also be used for trialling new programming concepts without affecting your current programming.

Crossword Magic

Thank you 2MBS-FM for Nelson Freire's CD of Chopin's Nocturnes as a reward for my correct crossword entry. I am doubly rewarded – first the fun of doing the crossword (thank you Nevil), now the enjoyment of a new appreciation of the Nocturnes courtesy of the wonderful playing of Freire. Thank you all very much!

Streaming For Macs

At the moment I'm listening to a Chicago station when I'm at my computer. They make it so easy for Mac users to access the music, but before I drift any further away from 2MBS I thought I'd better subscribe again to my local favourite station in the hope that my contribution makes it a little more likely that 2MBS will be able to afford whatever is necessary to give Mac users the same facility as PC users. I'll telephone you shortly to re-subscribe (even though my financial situation has not improved!).
