371.0. "Mystery radio broadcast" by KERNEL::HOGGAND () Tue Sep 01 1992 12:00

    I don't know if this is the right conference for this, but it seems the
    most likely. Recently FM100.30 has been broadcasting a 'countryside'
    signal. Everytime I've tuned in, all that has been playing is a
    soundtrack of birds singing in a meadow (images perceived) with
    occassional cows or a dog in the background. This is excellent stress
    management stuff, but I was wondering whether this could be a new
    station about to appear. Any ideas?

371.1Classic FM?MOVIES::ANDREWSRichard, OpenVMS Writer, Scotland - 824-3261Tue Sep 01 1992 13:1116
    i don't know if its the right conference either, but i'll answer
    anyway!
    
    yes, its a new station - Classic FM or some such. they did test
    broadcasts of classical music from a number of transmitters (including
    one near Edinburgh) during the spring. i forget what the frequency is
    up here (preset 13 on my tuner). brian johnston recently mentioned
    hearing the 'cow sounds' during a rain-interrupted day of TMS. yes, it
    is v. theraputic stuff   8-)
    
    back in the spring the test broadcasts were of light, popular,
    classical music; i think that's the aim when they go live as well.
    
    if you keep listening you'll eventually hear an announcement
