Replay Radio, the best music on planet earth!

Terry McSweeney Station Director email - terryonreplay@gmail.com Hi there. My name is Terry. Here at Replay Radio we aim to bring you the best music on Planet Earth from the 40s - now. So why did we start Replay Radio? Well let me begin by saying as a 45 year old I grew up listening to great stations such as Radio Luxembourg, Radio Nova, Laser 558/729, sadly these fantastic stations are only memories of a great era of broadcasting, hence Replay Radio was created by Paul Bedford and with some fantastic help from , Rodney Collins and Mike Knight from the legendary 208 Radio Luxembourg Replay Radio was born. Laser 729/Radio Caroline also gave us Cowboy Blake Williams with his unique Sounds of Enchantment, also from Irelands Radio Nova Henry O’Donovan who now runs a superb site Bonditunes.com and who is not a dj just a mere newsreader though we disagree, Henry is a great presenter like all of our presenters they all have their own unique way of doing radio which is what makes great radio. The whole idea of Replay Radio is to bring fun, entertainment and great music from around the world with our great team of worldwide presenters to bring real radio to an audience that deserves better.
Blake Williams Head of Presentation email - studio@replayradio.net Born in a Southern Arizona in 1958, Blake is the son of a cotton farmer. At age 12, he began hanging out at the one and only little AM (medium wave) station in his home town of Casa Grande. On his 13th birthday, the staff let him do a 2 hour radio program introducing records and reading commercials. That is where his career began working every day after school and both days on weekends. Blake worked in Tucson the same week high school wrapped up in 1976. He worked at a top 40 AM station during the week and on weekends he did a couple of shifts on the only FM rocker, KWFM. Soon after he moved to Phoenix to work at the heritage rocker, KDKB and eventually KUPD. He left the deserts of Arizona to join up with the Laser team and ended up working with Radio Caroline doing afternoons. From England the next stop was Guam for several years in the 1980s then back to Tucson to be Chief Engineer and an Announcer at KKLD. In 1994, due to health challenges, he stopped working full time and has been doing free-lance production for radio and TV stations around the globe.Still undergoing chemotherapy, Blake lives in the high deserts of New Mexico on 5.5 acres with his horses and many dogs. The “Sounds of Enchantment” is produced in his home studio near Route 66 and relates the southwestern feel in the program. It's eclectic Enchantment.
PETE FORSYTH Technical Assistant email - peteforsyth@replayradio.net www.peteforsyth.co.uk Pete Forsyth began his journey into radio around the mid 70s when he “bought” an hour on Pennine Radio for Children in Need. Since then he has presented programmes for several community and hospital radio stations including Radio Calderdale (Halifax), Hospital Radio Exeter, Spark FM, Sol Radio (Tenerife). His interest in music, however, began a long time before that. He became a DJ with DRM, the only, and probably first in the country, mobile disco company in 1968!! Covering pubs throughout West Yorkshire he soon learned how to conform to the public tastes! This is the second time at Replay Radio after taking a break to sort out personal stuff and is really pleased to be back!
Henry O'Donovan webmastter and wannabe DJ! email - henryod@gmail.com Hi folks! I started out in radio in 1978, working on the pirate radio stations of Ireland, and there were many! I then managed a gig on the biggest one of all - radio nova. I also worked on other "superpirates" such as q102, and Energy 103. I came to Australia in 1989 and left the radio industry until the internet started getting really sexy, in the sense that radio stations were broadcasting online! In 2003 I did a number of radio shows for Dublin's alternative Phantom FM. More recently I have been doing video presentation for New York's RADIO IRISH, which is a bundle of fun! I am also a writer, and have written a 6 part sitcom for the BBC or Channel 4 UK, but getting them to buy it is a bit of a problem! I currently own bonditunes.com, where I stream my own shows, along with those from replay Radio. Talking of which I do a weekly radio show for Replay, and every month, a 40's and 50's show, and other specials, such as the RADIO NOVA special aired in August 2010. Replay Radio is a fantastic place to be, and I feel very comfortable here because you know - the future of radio is on the internet!!!
