Schedule for 60 North Radio today, Saturday 25 June

Hi folks - thanks for your support last night as we test-drove Promote shetland's new 60 North 'Visual Radio' platform.

Today, just past midsummer, we launch the service properly with 12 hours of live moving pictures and a whole bunch of new radio programmes, live and recorded. You'll see and hear, we hope, Shetland at its best!

Just to be clear  - you can listen here by clicking on ANY of the webcam and video streams, but ONLY the ZE3 'contemporary' radio stream. The address is http://www.shetland.org/60n

You will get pictures, assuming it's all working, from Lerwick, Sumburgh and we hope Unst. Including pictures from the main studio in Market Street, Lerwick, and from Sumburgh Head.
