The Team-FM Apps. Let the Music Play On!

Hi everyone

In 2013, we launched our very own app for IOS devices. At the time, a dedicated app for an internet radio station was innovative. While there were ways using your iDevice to listen to us and thousands of other internet radio stations, a dedicated app meant that there was an easy place to go straight to Team-FM.

It's a Blast From the Past Weekend! Remember the Bear's Lair?

Hi everyone

Unfortunately two of our show presenters cannot be with us this weekend, so we're taking the chance to go back five years and have a listen to how Team-FM sounded during the year 2013!

Things were very different back then, and we've had some difficulty in finding shows which we think meet our broadcasting standards of today. But we have found three which we hope you will enjoy and provide you with great entertainment this weekend.

With a La, La, La, a Boom-Bang-A-Bang and a Ring-A-Ding-Ding, it's the Music Machine!

Hi Everyone

The Eurovision Song Contest is the longest-running annual international TV song competition. It has been held, primarily, among the member countries of the European Broadcasting Union. Each participating country submits an original song to be performed on live television and radio and then casts votes for the other countries' songs to determine the competition's winning entry.

The Beatles - From Liverpool to Legend, a Must Listen!

Many radio programmes have told the story of the Beatles in many different ways. Starting with the 1972 original BBC documentary produced by Johnny Beerling, "The Beatles Story", anyone interested in this subject will know it fairly well.

However, "The Beatles - From Liverpool to Legend" is a masterpiece of excellent storytelling, coupled with first-class music illustration, not just from the group but also other songs which set the scene for the period being discussed. It very much reminds us of the iconic documentary series "The Evolution of Rock".
