You've had the Blog defining the true meaning of Christmas, I will be reading this on Penwith Radio on the 20th of December between 2pm and 4pm GMT, but this Blog is a "Hitchhikers" Sneek Peek of what to expect. Yes indeed I am back on the air covering for a good friend Theresa Wigmore on Afternoon Delight on Penwith Community Radio. I will be sharing my wise words with you all so for you avid followers of my Blog, if you want a request or want to come on air and spread your Christmas Wisdom ring 01736 362884. I love to hear from you also you can email me on
davidhackett @penwithradio.co.uk . Now there is many true meanings of Christmas, of which means different for each individual but I am truly blessed to know that I have friends and certain loved ones close to me at this time, 2012 overall has been a very low year for me personally due to my Nan sadly dying, but my strength and support I have had since she has died has been paramount and thanks to that added support I can look at Christmas in a more positive note, I am seeking professional support for this as well now, so 2013 WILL be a year I can say it will be a year never to forget. I am saddened also because BBC Local Radio from the New Year between 7pm and 10pm will no longer be "local". Locality in the region wherever you may be is Local, something close to you, Community Radio Stations such as Penwith Radio, Source FM, Redruth Radio, brings you the sense of being "local" The list you are about to see is the current list that OFCOM have on their list as either being awarded FM License or are currently broadcasting on FM

So remember at Christmas Time if you want support something, I personally would support your "local" Community Radio Station. When I joined Penwith Radio, I was truly amazed at the output and impact it had on the community, and thanks to OFCOM, Penwith Radio will be broadcasting on FM Radios in the Penwith area sometime in 2013. Christmas will be a time of reflection for one and all, my mind will be filling with more "Wisdom" for you all to read. You will no doubt hear from me on my Opinions and Views of Christmas on Christmas Day. But for now I will leave you with this note of what to expect Music Wise on Afternoon Delight. Merry Christmas everyone and remember Stay Safe :)
