TOWARD THE UNKNOWN REGION

This was... Chris Bent (Summer 1971)

on Radio Seagull online every Friday and Saturday, midday and at midnight
 on 1476Khz and various AM frequencies in Netherlands
on CWR 1476Khz Leicestershire every Friday, Saturday & Sunday evening 6.00-8.00pm
1476 WEBCAST: Carillon Wellbeing Radio

Weekends of 9/16/23/30 September 2022

there are no programmes on Radio Seagull for the weekends of 9/10/11 and 16/17/18 September
 

The death of Her Majesty the Queen resulted in cancelled broadcasts. Below are four weeks of The New Singles in 1972 plus other hours intended for broadcast on Seagull or CWR1476. There's still some uncertainty about what will be or what was broadcast... so good luck if you're trying to identify something.
