For the people by the people...

1 March 2010 is another landmark date for FCUM Radio. Since our drive in February on the website for new volunteers, we can now boast an impressive 10 shows playing per day on FCUM Radio covering the club’s current events and a huge collection of music tastes.

This Club Is My Club has moved from strength to strength. It now boasts a good stream of news coming in from fans and club representatives, the highlights from the previous weekend and all other club announcements. Recent news items have covered the FC Juniors, the pending General Meeting, FC Poker and Quiz nights and much more. We present the FCUM.TV highlights from the previous week’s game(s) and any post-match interviews that Roy Williamson has managed to get, in addition to our own interviews with club officials like 12th Man Andy Griffiths. We also have foreign correspondent Teddy Barrett sending updates from Hamburg as we follow St Pauli to the end of the season in their search for promotion ahead of our friendly with them in May.

We have nine music and entertainment radio programmes, each playing for an hour, repeated through the week. Full details are below. The shows cover a great mix of punk, blues, reggae, jazz, funk, soul, indie, electronica, rock n roll and so much more. The volunteers hosting these shows are growing in confidence and the listener feedback they have been receiving directly, and that which we have taken via the forum and to the email address has been greatly appreciated.

This week we are also thrilled to bring you the FCUM Radio coverage of the Beyond The Debt Supporters Rally from Saturday 27 February 2010. It plays at 3pm each day.

FCUM Radio is moving from strength to strength but without the dedication, support and contributions of the station’s worldwide volunteers, the fans and FC officials, any future progress would be damaged. In addition to the service provided by the matchday team, we’re seeing figures of over 1,000 listeners per month and considering this new schedule has only been up and running for six weeks, that’s an excellent response. Thank you for listening.

If you want to produce your own show for the schedule, get involved with FCUM Radio, provide details of a news story or if you have any other general queries, please contact us at station@fcumradio.co.uk.

WELCOME & NEWS

Tune in this week on FCUM Radio, Radio for FC United of Manchester to hear a brand new schedule, launching on 1 March 2010. The new schedule consists of three new shows from new FCUM Radio volunteers Matt Nickson, Martin Abrams and Swampy & Pace. Full details follow below.

Also this week, we are happy to announce that every day at 3pm this week, there’ll be a chance to hear FCUM Radio’s live coverage of the Beyond The Debt Supporters Rally from last weekend. The rally was a roaring success with several guest speakers and representatives of clubs throughout Europe attending the event at Bury Social Club, as everyone demonstrated their enthusiasm to be a part of the future of football in this country. For anyone unlucky enough to have not been able to make the rally, the coverage lasts an hour and a half and is well worth a listen.

On behalf of everyone involved with FCUM Radio - we hope you enjoy listening to these new programmes as much as we’ve enjoyed getting them to air, and while we’re on about it thanks to Martin, Matt, Swampy, Pace and all the other presenters, volunteers and contributors to FCUM Radio for making this station such a success. Also - thanks to everyone for listening - get in touch with us for your feedback, questions, requests or FCUM stories at station@fcumradio.co.uk.

DAILY HIGHLIGHTS

The New Shows

Co-Founder of Manchester’s famous venue Matt & Phred’s Matt Nickson presents an hour of quality jazz and we are proud to have him on board. Listen every night at 10pm for the jazz you always dreamed existed.

The Funktion Room, presented by Martin Abrams, is FCUM Radio’s first soul and funk show, but Martin doesn’t let his tastes limit themselves there. Martin plays from a collection of records built up of over 5 years as a DJ, and more as a music fan. Join him at 6pm each evening for features ’Go Funk Yourself’, ’Noises From Next Door’ and ’This Dub Is My Dub’.

And finally - new contenders for the Smashie & Nicey FCUM Radio award, for irrelevant but interesting chat, Red Rebel Radio joins the afternoon brigade on the schedule recorded via satellite in a shed. Swampy & Pace present a variety of music to break up the off-topic banter. But then, what is the topic? In their first weekly show for FCUM Radio, Swampy & Pace discuss the ’definitive guide to making a good radio show’, produced by FCUM Radio and they discuss next week’s features.
