Radio England International will be running the original Sunshine Gold shows (including the five made before they settled on a name for the new station) starting tomorrow morning - Monday 30th June, at 7-40a.m. The reason for the 7-40 start is because the first show started with a 20 minuete test transmission.These Shows are only being played on Radio England International. As far as we know Sunshine Gold will be playing none stop music. If you would like to email me (jimbo) my email address is studio@englandinternational.co.uk . If you cant find the station just google Radio England International and there should be a choice of internet radio players avalible wich will allow you to stream the show. I dont know if we will carry on playing all the shows. It's up to you if you want to hear them or not. There's more than enough to keep us going for a full year. (hopefully) Chirpy might consider returning for more live shows. There Are some other shows we might run - like the children's favourites one wich were made for special occasions. It'll give you something to listen to if you cant find an alternative. Unfortunately, you wont be able to interact with the show as chirpy wont be around, but a least you'll hearhow you first interacted when the shows were first made and you will be able to hear the reast of the Sunshine Gold family.

Here is an Update of what's happening Re. Chirpy's Breakfast Show.
Both Radio England International and Sunshine Gold will now be running the repeat shows in the morning from 8am till 12 noon UK time.
At 12 noon on Thursday 3rd July, following the Breakfast Show, Radio England International will also be running Chirpy's last-but-one show recorded on Thursday 26th June (last week). Sunshine Gold will carry on with its normal service.
At 12 noon on Friday 4th July, following the Breakfast Show, Radio England International will also be running Chirpy's final show recorded on Friday 27th June (last week). Sunshine Gold will carry on with its normal service.
From Monday 7th July from 8am till 12 noon UK time, Radio England International and Sunshine Gold will be repeating Chirpy’s Big Breakfast Shows recorded between Monday 8th July 2013 and Friday 27th June 2014. Each show will in effect be running one day out of sync, so don't be confused when Chirpy announces the date! At 8pm in the evening, Radio England International will run a repeat of the morning show. Sunshine Gold will carry on with its normal service.
Sunshine Gold has updated its website accordingly.
why does it need 2 stations to re-play Chirpy's shows - wouldn't it be much better and also cheaper to merge both stations - and try to build up a real radio-station with live presenters and live shows from it ? - The're simply too many i-net stations out there - they come and then they go - I guess about half of my once bookmarked i-net stations are off-air in the meanwhile ("404 page not found")....

Hi Alec, I can see your point about live dj's trying to get people on board,but to get someone to commit do a show is like pulling hens teeth. Yes your right stations come & go as for R.E.I. the station has been around for over 10 years now. As for chirpy's shows he has been a good friend of mine for years & will always be happy to run his shows whether they be live or re runs. It's never crossed my mind to merge with Sunshine Gold I think we run pretty well together as it is.
well - also on this board there are a few members who are presenters or run a station of their own - I always pondered why don't these guys just get together and do something big together instead of running a station of their own with 5 - 10 listeners. - But you're probably very right to do something together and to coordinate that and also to get the technics running will take an much bigger effort.
