I post this with some trepidation, but would look for any advice or thoughts that people might offer. I present a classical music programme on my local community radio on alternate wednesday evenings. My particular loves are the piano and the organ, so both get a disproportionate amount of air time. Community radio is very poor so we can't do accurate listening figures, so don't know how many listeners we might ever have. The station is available on FM within 5 miles, but worldwide on the internet. One of the problems is that the normal musical output is pretty ghastly, so if you hear the station most hours of the day (for the musical, rather than local content), you would rapidly move on. Any thoughts ?

A month ago I had the organist D'Arcy Trinkwon as my guest for the full 2 hours. If you're interested in hearing the programme, please go to http://81.137.247.189/meridianfmaudio/ . Scroll down to Sept 14th and the first hour is at 2100 and the second at 2200. there are constraints with the news and local advertising, so please bear with it.

This Wednesday at 2000 - www.meridianfm.com - press the Listen Live button, I am doing my third programme of the year celebrating the bicentenary of Liszt's birth. At about 2030 I am playing Sposalizio (a Lemaire transcription from the 2nd Book of Annees de Pelerinage), and around 2040 will play the Weinen Sorgen variations. Both are played by Peter King on the organ of Bath Abbey. Also on the programme are a couple of Richter performances, the tone poem Prometheus, and Argerich playing the B minor sonata from about 2130.

If you would like to listen - fantastic: you will increase the listening figures by a considerable %age. If not, and you have any ideas as to how get more people listening to great music, I'd love to hear
