Hello Folks,
Good news received today from 2MBS-FM. Direct streaming of 2MBS-FM
to the internet has now commenced. Below is the text of a message
which I have posted to a number of organ chat lists.

2MBS-FM – "Sydney's Fine Music Station" – is now online.
2MBS-FM is Australia's first FM radio station, commencing
broadcasting in 1975. It can be found at 102.5 on local Sydney radio
dials. It can now be reached anywhere in the world via live
streaming to the internet.
Staffed by volunteers and broadcasting 24 hours a day 7 days a week,
2MBS-FM is predominantly a classical music station, with occasional
excursions into jazz, contemporary music, folk music and other
special interest musical genres. Organ music is represented by two
broadcasts which I present each month.
"Colours of the King" goes to air on the second Saturday of each
month – 5 pm until 6 pm. This is the programme of the Organ Music
Society of Sydney. The next broadcast will be on Saturday 13th
October.
"Music for the Theatre Organ" can be heard on the 3rd Saturday of
each month – 6.30 pm until 7.00 pm. The next broadcast will be on
Saturday 20th October.
Programme details of the two organ broadcasts can be found on the
website of the Organ Music Society of Sydney.
