In der Nacht von Samstag (15.08.) auf Sonntag, den 16.08. um 00.00h baut Radio Northsea International sein deutschsprachiges Programm aus. Ab 01.00h MESZ wird dann erstmals Roger Kirk den deutschen Dienst mit der Sendung "Old Days" bereichern. Rogers Programme laufen wöchentlich von Sa auf So (ab 01.00h) jeweils zwei Stunden.
Das Ganze gibts natürlich auch via Webradio zu hören. Vorab eine Soundfile als Appetizer : http://fmkompakt.de/kirk-rni.mp3
Und hier die offizielle Ankündigung von Kirk (der RNI-HP entnommen):
Roger Kirk is one of the original MeboII DJs.
He was first on board during mid April 1970 under another name when the
medium wave signal was off and the boat was off the Essex coast. This was only for one day and he returned home before RNI returned to 190m and was jammed shortly afterwards.
Roger’s second time on the MeboII was during the summer of 1971 only for a few days because he was too seasick to concentrate...
Roger feels this was nothing to be proud of but has nice memories having been amidst the scene including contacts with Veronica, Capital Radio, Caroline in 73 and Atlantis in 74.
His father being Dutch (from Noordwijkerhout) and his mother being German, Roger grew up mainly in Western Germany, so this is his main language.
He began the way, as so many others, with the international service of the Pyrgos broadcasting station in Greece.
In the eighties we heard a lot from Roger, he started his own project "Radio Victoria" that is possibly a well-remembered German shortwave music station, which was also heard on 1301KHz and various FM frequencies
In Eastern Belgium and Italy he broadcast on the international service of Radio Milan International, Radio Time from Florence and in the very beginning also for Radio Minuto in Barcelona.
He joined commercial radio in Germany when it started and later he became a head of music and one of the most well known voices on radio for a bunch of stations in places like Ludwigshafen, Aschaffenburg, Freiburg, Stuttgart, Bochum and Erfurt.
During the nineties he concentrated on being a radio consultant and started a monthly magazine of his own, a decade ago, despite that he never really lost contact with radio and after the 25th birthday transmissions for the once beloved "Radio Victoria" during the summer of 2008, Roger is looking for new ideas and opportunities. Besides some 2 to 3 projects of his own he is happy to be with RNI... so it’s a welcome back home to Roger. He points out that his shows (mainly for the German service but also with some identifications & announcements in English and Dutch) will not be the normal mundane material you can listen to anywhere. Roger’s show is packed with rarities, nearly forgotten songs and album tracks... so you may be pleasantly surprised by what he plays. His programme is called "Old Days".
Roger can be heard every Sunday morning at 1am GMT.
