The News (Portsmouth)

This is recorded weekly, by two teams, Blue and Red, in our studio in Portsmouth. Each team reads interesting articles from the daily paper on events that have taken place, a “What’s On” in Portsmouth column and at various Theatres in our region plus a Restaurant Review by a well known Restauranteur and Nostalgia items (these used to be read by Ron Brown who used to write for The News).  The Red team as well as all of the previous also have a column of Gardening News from Brian Kidd, the News gardening expert. There is also a list of Useful Telephone numbers which appears after the closing music.

We have recently connected with British Wireless for the Blind Fund, who have allowed us to upload our recordings to their server allowing us to stream the recordings to you.
