Final show for From the Island of Music

The last broadcast of From the Isle of Music from WBCQ The Planet will be March 3 from 2200-2300 UTC on 7490 kHz.

Thank you for your steadfast support over the years, unfortunately, North American listeners have not been nearly as enthusiastic as those in Europe, and I lack the financial resources to do justice to both. I certainly can't blame the lack of publicity, which has been ample.

I will let you know April's time and frequency in Europe once finalized, but North Americans will probably need to use a web SDR to catch the show.

The last episode will be a killer Cuban dance party - I am going out with a bang, not a whimper.
