The Theatre Pipe Organ - Seriously 2MBS-FM 102.5MHz
Andrew Grahame has advised that his programme "The Theatre Pipe Organ -
Seriously" will not be continuing on 2MBS-FM into the New Year. Major
programming changes will be implemented at 2MBS-FM starting in January. The
Board of the Music Broadcasting Society of NSW (which owns and operates the
station) has decided that all programmes of a specialist nature are to be
removed from weekdays in favour of general listening. Unfortunately no
timeslots currently exist at weekends to allow this and several other
specialist programmes to be relocated. After a run of nearly 2 years "The
Theatre Pipe Organ - Seriously" will therefore be "rested" following the
December broadcast.
Andrew's other programme "Colours of the King" (presented on behalf of the
Organ Music Society of Sydney) will be continuing into 2005 and its timeslot
of 6 pm on the second Saturday of each month remains unchanged.
