Wight FM

Wight FM was an internet radio service based on the Isle of Wight which closed in December 2009. It was first launched on 1 February 2009 and initially included high-profile radio DJs such as David Hamilton, Paul Burnett, Mike Read and Howard Pearce among others.[2] Its main sponsorship and form of advertising is the Isle of Wight Gazette. The programmes were mainly all hamfistedly voicetracked apart from the Alex Dyke morning phone-in. Alex was the founder/owner of the Station. He now presents on Radio Solent on Weekday mornings & hosts an ex-Wight FM invention called Bubblegum & Cheese on Saturdays between 11am & 2pm. This ran on Wight FM on Saturday & Sunday mornings with Ed Stewart, in voicetracked form. The station ceased transmission in 2009 for no reason and Wight FM TV never launched.

gollark: Well, I was timed out for 10 minutes for whatever reason, and people generally don't press buttons like that by accident.
gollark: There are obviously some non-voting ways to influence politics, but those are generally more costly/annoying, so the situation is probably not much better.
gollark: Discussing politics also has the great effect of sometimes alienating people you know.
gollark: Since your probability of deciding an election by voting is not very high, the expected value of that is very low, and - since people are very hard to convince away from their views - it's even worse for *discussing* politics.
gollark: Regardless of how much you think the results of elections and such matter, I contest that for an individual, at least, politics is not very important.
