News

Tony Currie, who, for the last 63 years has owned and operated Radio Six International sadly passed away on the 26th of September at his home on the Isle of Lismore. His family are very grateful to the support they have received from his many friends and colleagues in the broadcasting industry and beyond.

Radio Six International will continue but for the present with a slightly reduced service. The RANDOM PLAY playlist will not be refreshed regularly in the forseeable future. THE LIVELY LOUNGE has come to the end of its run, although there may be some repeats in September. MIDNIGHT RENDEZVOUS will continue but with a variety of presenters and occasionally a repeated programme. This week John Cavanagh will be at the helm.

Our programme guide RADIO NEWS published since 1967 will cease publication immediately. Programme schedules will vary from day to day but details will be given wherever possible on the Schedules page. Our sincere apologies for these unavoidable changes.

Submitting music for consideration to musicsubmissions@radiosix.com

We're happy to receive new music for consideration. Our playlist is broad and international, and we welcome songs in languages other than English. But there are a few rules. We will not accept anything created using Artificial Intelligence. Real people, only, please. We receive in excess of 300 songs a week, so we don't have time to go searching for YouTube videos (that we can't download) or download press releases that give us links to somewhere else. So the rule is - send us an mp3 as an attachment to your email. It should be 192kbs or more and recorded at 44.1kHz. If you don't do that we probably won't listen to your music, which would be a pity. Second rule - mark your files clearly. The filename should be in the form Artist-Record Title. Thank you
