They did it – 24 hours of non stop show!
Written by author on June 13, 2011
Yes they certainly did! Iain Renicks and Michael Greaves-Macintosh successfully completed a non-stop 24 hour broadcast from our studios in the Old Convent, Dumfries this weekend. Although radio stations have broken records longer that this, it must be a first for Dumfries. As fas as we know, no one has done this in Dumfries and Galloway before, so as such, the boys have set an unofficial local record! They were in the studio live on air from midnight Friday to midnight Saturday.
Iain and Michael were also joined by teenager, Aaron Kelly, who faithfully served them coffee and kept them topped up with moral support! Other presenters, family and friends called in, providing a steady stream of encouragement and listeners were texting, calling and emailing along the way.
All this, to raise funds for the station. Sponsor sheets are out and the guys gave invitations to donate online, and several hundred of £s have been raised through the event.
It’s not too late to pay tribute to Iain, Michael and Aaron’s efforts, by making a donation, large or small, through clicking the ‘donate’ button below:
