HAS IT REALLY BEEN TWO MONTHS SINCE I'VE POSTED HERE??
SORRY ABOUT THAT. . .I'VE BEEN REALLY BUSY! HERE'S THE NEWS!
First, Bumps Radio is now part of Kingfisher Radio England! No programming changes that I know of, but you will see a new and easier-to-navigate website! You can still get there by typing in www.bumps-radio.co.uk and it will redirect you to www.Kingfisher-radio.com. Either way, you'll get to where you want to be! (Our sister stations, Homelands Radio and AIR Radio comprise the rest of the Kingfisher Radio family.)
To listen to Bumps Radio, you will see the blue illustration on the left side of the home page. The media player is there; just click on the silver line with the arrow in its center. (Sometimes you also have to click on the smaller arrow to the left of that.)
Please join us in chat! We are back with XAT Chat and you need to be registered with XAT.com to get into any of our new chat rooms. After you register there, go back to the Bumps home page, hover your cursor over the word "Bumps" near the top-center of the page and the word "Chat" will appear. Click on "Chat" and then scroll down. . .There's our chat room! Underneath it is a little blue link - "Go Large." Click on that link and join in the fun!
Please ID yourself, keep chat friendly, and most of all - Have Fun!
All three stations will now be heard in 1,300 Kingfisher-owned home improvement stores all over the Eastern Hemisphere! In The UK the stores are called "Screwfix." In other countries they are called "BQ." Now their customers can enjoy the same great shows you do - while they are shopping in Kingfisher's stores! MANY THANKS TO PAULA BRIERS, owner/manager of all three radio stations, for coming up with this GREAT idea and for making it happen!
My shows will be recorded by Paula just as you hear them, and in addition to airing at their usual times on Bumps Radio, they will be played several times during that week in Kingfisher's stores. . .To say "I'm both thrilled and honored" is an understatement. . .
ALSO. . .This month is the beginning of something new and different for me! I am going to be conducting Indie Artist interviews to be podcast on the brand-new "TobyTalks!" For a start, these great interviews will be heard on iTunes, Libsyn, and blogtalkradio at absolutely NO COST to you or the Indie Artist. Hopefully you will like what you hear so much that you'll follow the links that will be provided and buy yourself an earful of great Indie Music!
There will be a different website for "TobyTalks." Keep your peepers on my Facebook page at Toby Chicago to follow the latest news on this and on everything Toby Chicago does!
PLUS. . .May marks the Bumps Radio debut of my buddy CJ The DJ! Until he gets his own time slot at the end of the Summer, I'll be giving him one of my Monday time slots so he can air his super-terrific "CJ The DJ's Rockin' and Rollin' Record Review!" It's a really groovy show that features great Doo-Wop and Rock from the 50's right up until The British Invasion! This month, his show will air in my time slot on the second Monday/Tuesday of May. I'll return to my usual Indies And Oldies time slot the week after his shows air on Bumps Radio.
For The US and Canada - Mondays at 11 PM Eastern
For The UK and Europe - Tuesdays at 0400 hrs GMT
Don't forget Toby Chicago's Bumps Radio Ballroom Show!
Great Jazz, Swing, and Big Band Music!
For The US and Canada - Wednesday at 11 PM Eastern
For The UK and Europe - Thursdays at 0400 hrs GMT
That's all for now - Stay Tuned!
