That's a real shame. like some others I used to listen to it at home, on the days when I wasn't there. Also agree about the travel info. Somehow, when you came through Pimperne, and re-tuned the radio, you knew you were nearly there. Great pity.

The following is from someone on the net who doesn't go to Dorset.

"Listening to this a lot on line at the moment. Best selection of oldies I've heard in a long time and great slick presentation/transitions. Why can't permanent stations sound like this? They sound enthusiastic about what they're doing."

They must of been doing something right. A real shame in my opinion.

Regards

Matt

I gave a link to a not interested in Steam Australian Friend and he loved it, He listened to it for the duration in fact.

Default Steam Fair FM.

What a pity, they were brilliant at keeping us up to date with all that was going at the Show. It will be a much quitter place without them.
Pat.

I'll really miss it. It was a useful source of info, and I got to know of quite a few things going on which otherwise I would have missed (Countryfile on JW's engine is one that springs to mind). I used to tune in online prior to going down to the show. Maybe somebody will take it on again for 2016.

Am I the only one who thought it was dreadful and won't miss it at all?

Bit better news from the man himself today :

STEAM FAIR FM - UPDATE FROM MARTIN OLIVER
Following our notice yesterday, I would like to thank everyone for their replies. Clearly, by the number of replies and comments received there is overwhelming support for the Radio Station at the GDSF.
Certainly I think the Steam Fair management did not realise how popular Steam Fair FM is and as such I feel it is only right to re-open negotiations with Patrick Heeley of Event Radio Associates. There are, of course, still important cost issues to be resolved but I am more than happy to talk to Patrick again to see what options might still be available and to see if any headway can be made regarding the Radio Station broadcasting at this year's show.
I will keep you posted.
Kind regards,
Martin Oliver

Dorset is a holiday and I want to detach from the world and I don’t want to listen to commercial radio. It keeps you involved reminding you that you're not just in any other caravan park when your miles away from the site in the camping fields. I also listen online over the bank holiday weekend if I'm not already on site. It is cheesy but at the same time its unique to Dorset and has become integral to the Dorset experience.

I understand the economic issue and have often questioned myself if the advertising & sponsorship pays! However, there was a butcher who advertised and I did make the trek over to the civilised end of the site to stock up on some decent meat so maybe it works!

The music was dreadful but then almost all the music at GDSF is dreadful.

At least you can turn the volume of Steamfair FM down.
