The Show Must Go On!
Presenters are gaga for radio, says Paul Wilson Many of the regular readers of the Banchory Fly will know about River Dee Radio, your local community radio station. During lockdown presenters have continued to create programmes from their homes. We are looking to extend our current schedule and encourage listeners to tune in on a Sunday afternoon to our programmes. The bedrock of the afternoon will be two hours of classical music with Liz. Starting at 2pm Liz will offer music from Bach to Wagner and everything in between. Each hour focuses on a theme such as winter and nature. The first hour will be a catch-up programme followed by a new themed hour. At 4pm we have an hour of jazz. Jim Christie, a new presenter, will explore the sounds of jazz with his programme Jim's World of Jazz.

During the pandemic presenters have been unable to use the small studio based in the Banchory British Legion but have continued to produce high-quality programmes from home and in 2021 River Dee Radio will continue to entertain and inform.
