Thanet's local radio broadens musical horizons

Thanet’s local radio shows broaden musical horizons

Academy FM has a new addition to its range of specialist music programmes.

Ian Day is delighted to present The Culture Club. Recently introduced as a segment of his show, it became an entire two-hour programme from 9pm to 11pm every Monday in the new schedule at the end of February. "It’s a major step for the station," says Ian, "as we open our ears and minds to a diverse range of musical genres from around the world, embracing different cultures and nationalities. I hand-pick tunes from the world music genre, including Afro-beats, Ghanaian, Nigerian, Latin, Cajun, Bhangra, Salsa, Electro swing, European pop, Celtic and all fusions in between. There are also new and exciting cover versions of popular songs." The show is a journey into sound and music, and a discovery of genres and artists current, from the past and looking to the future. "I’m excited to launch this project," says Ian, "and I’ll always aim to entertain and inform about the endless supply of music, old and new. Let the journey commence!" Among the station’s other specialist output are programmes of rock, soul and funk, dance and disco, and a mix of jazz and easy listening – and well as decade shows for the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties and noughties. You can hear them all on 107.8FM or online at
