Local radio is by its nature 'local' but with the internet it is possible to tune in almost any where in the world. You may wish to try the following links to eavesdrop on what is going on in your area or on the other side of the world:
Garrison Radio:
Beginning on Ash Wednesday, 22 February, 2012 and on every weekday in Lent, Garrison Radio will be broadcasting Mark's Gospel in short, 2-min, sections.
This is all connected with The Big Read. A group from the Garrison Church have recorded the Gospel for use on air.
It will be broadcast at 6.50am (!) - all good for the lenten discipline!
Garrison Radio is on 106.9 FM - or online at Garrison FM
Please publicise this as widely as possible - Garrison radio transmissions can be picked up from Darlington to Ripon.
Radio Teesdale:
2012 is the third year that Radio Teesdale has broadcast. The whole reading for each day is broadcast at 7.00am, 1.00pm and 10.00pm. and is also streamed on the Internet at: Radio Teesdale
Radio Teesdale has also just started the second series of a programme called “Sing to the Lord”, an hour long programme rather on the style of the BBC Radio 2 “Sunday Half Hour” programme. This is broadcast by a different local presenter each Sunday morning at 10.00a and repeated at 8.00pm that evening. It is valuable for the housebound and those who, for whatever reason, are unable to attend church.
