Blimey, I've been away for a couple of weeks I get back and find there has been a lot of changes. What fast times we live in. No sooner do I get of the Royal Blue coach at the bus station than I notice a Journal board outside Summerland Street Stores where I just popped into buy a couple of bottles of natch, declaring that Heart FM is to close it's North Devon Studio. I was shocked. What am I going to listen to now. I can't listen to Radio Devon all day long I don't mind it in the mornings with Judy Spiers but at lunch time I usually tune into HeartFM of course it used to be Lantern FM which was a darn sight better than Heart but I suppose there isn't much to choose between the two. I reckon the music is more up to date, a bit more trendy you get a taste of what the youngsters like to listen to and I also find the adverts that they play between every song very informative. I must look into this matter further and see what's going on. I have a mind to get a petition going or maybe get a demonstration together outside their studios. I reckon if push comes to shove might even have to occupy the station in order to save a valuable local cultural asset being wrenched from our community by faceless money men up in Exeter. Rebels have seized the radio station that was what they always announce when some gorillas have taken the initiative to announce their displeasure about various goings on. Now that give me an idea.
Talking of radio stations I was down at Somerfield yesterday morning having a delve through the cut price items in the cold cabinet and bugger me if over the in-store radio channel which they pipe from store to store up and down the land they started playing my favourite Neil Young. I couldn't quite believe my ears. If we are going to get more of the same when it converts to a CO-OP supermarket over the next few days then my distress in finding that the store is to be closed for a week will be a bit tempered. Infact, it might make a bit of sense if Heart FM should close down then I could just spend more time in the co-op listening to their radio station. I could buy me paper and a couple of bottles of Westons and sit outside by the trolleys and still have a half decent radio to listen to. Now that gives me an idea.
Listen now to Heart FM North Devon or lodge your complaint about the service moving up to Exeter
Hopps and Chappel the heart of Heart FM keep it local!
