On Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, Radio Kidnappers now offers listeners two choices of overnight fare.

Our regular scheduled programmes will carry on as normal, on 104.7FM, and these will be streamed on the Internet. Fill-in music between these is usually a mix of the better 'pop' or popular-country genres, and occasionally blues, soul, or rock'n'roll.

But now on 1431AM (on the above nights), you can catch an overnight potpourri of the very best orchestral, instrumental and stylish vocalists of the first half of the 20th century. The emphasis will be on relaxing music of the "easy-listening" genre.

See the SCHEDULE page for details of what times this music will be playing on the above nights.

We may also look at extending this music to other nights or other times-of-day, on 1431AM or 104.7FM, depending on the feedback you give us. Let us know!

Tune in on Wednesdays at 4:05pm for 30mins of great nostalgia, hits and memorabilia, brought to you by the one and only Dave Dee.

On the 2nd Wednesday each month, at 12:30pm, you can hear a series of 30min programmes about Alzheimers Disease, and Dementia.

The programme is presented by Anneleis Kamp on behalf of Alzheimers Wellington, and was produced at Access Radio Wellington. The content of the programme will, however, be relevant to all NZ-ers suffering with, or in some way affected by, Alzheimers and dementia.

Anneleis will be talking with professionals as well as those with a real life story. A wide range of topics will be covered, including: the different types of dementia, the process that the disease takes, how it affects people's lives, medical intervention, legal issues, and the support and help available. There will also be tips on things sufferers can do to keep their minds sharp and active.

Ths 5min catchup with news and views from our local SPCA has returned on Wednesdays at 8:05am. It will be repeated on Thursday and Friday mornings at the same time, and during "Saturday Smorgasbord".
