WHMC-FM

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for local radio as I used to do a live sports report for one near where I lived.
When holidaying in Canada once, I discovered The Bear on the car radio and caarried on listening to it on my return home for many months.
This is a radio stationed based in Conway, South Carolina.
It seems to do current affairs rather than music, I tuned in online and listened to a debate on the proposed alcohol policy at Stanford University.
Interesting but I'm more of a music station man.

Now that's what I call music 28

I have to say, this one made me smile. In the UK, who under the age of about 55, hasn't owned a Now album/CD.
The format is simple, a double album, side/disc 1 has many of the latest hits including a few number ones, the second side/disc has a load of songs that you've never heard of, however closely you follow the charts.
After careful consideration, my favourite track on Now28 is 'Don't turn around by Ace of Base.

The video is a bit dull, but great tune. Enjoy it here Don't turn around

So google Now28 and decide your favourite, I'd love to hear what it is. Tweet me @YT40

Evelyne Elien

A French 400 metres runner who I confess to not being familiar with. I found a Youtube video of her in a 4 * 400 metres relay from the 1990 Eurupean championships.
Fascinating to see how tactics have changed, runners went so hard from the baton change and found themselves running on empty.
Also interesting to see East & West Germany as different nations.
A link to the race is below and it's a good contest.
Evelyne Elien ran a solid leg without being spectacular.
Enjoy!
