The New Echo Skill from Team-FM! Try it Now!

From the time we launched the first release of our Team-FM app for I O S devices back in 2012, through to the implementation of the radio player on our Facebook page, and Team-FM's Click and Play service where you can listen to us direct from the website, we've always tried to bring new and innovative ways of hearing the station. Yes it is true that you can find us in many radio directories, or listen using your default media player of choice.

The Music Machine! Happy Birthday Sweet 16? Not Quite.

Hi everyone

I hope you can join me as usual on Saturday right here on Team-FM for the Music Machine! It all happens at 7 PM UK time which is 2 PM US Eastern!

This Saturday, exactly 9 years ago to the day, the Music Machine was born. The first show was broadcast at 1 in the morning UK time believe it or not. We'll remember some of the songs which have often been played on the show. Are there any songs which you've been introduced to through the Music Machine that perhaps you haven't heard before? Do let me know.

I also have the usual features for you.

The Music Machine! I'm Getting Married in the Morning!

Hi everyone

It's a right royal 80's party on the Music Machine this Saturday at 7 PM UK time which is 2 PM US Eastern! Join me if you can!

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are due to marry on Saturday, and there is a lot of international interest. They were both born in the 80's: Meghan in August 1981 and Prince Harry in September 1984. So it's a good excuse to have an all 80's party!

The New Sound for Saturday Nights. It's Saturday Night Smooth!

After your hectic week and the fast-paced Music Machine, you need some slower songs for a Saturday night: Whether you are getting ready to go out, on your way to a party, having dinner with friends or just staying in. Meet Saturday Night Smooth!

If you'd like a special mix of music with a laid back vibe, Saturday Night Smooth is just right for you. We're not talking pure love songs, although there are some in the mix. Saturday Night Smooth gives you those songs from a number of genres with a moderate beat to help the day wind down.

The Music Machine! Disco Days, Disco Nights and the All New Music Game!

Hi Everyone

The Music Machine is back. After a break and our Eurovision special, I'm back on Saturday at 7 PM UK time, 2 PM US Eastern, to bring you our regular features and something sparkly and new!

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".

The Music Machine. Do You Remember Jackie?

Hi everyone

It would be great if you could join me on Saturday for the Music Machine, where a lot of us enjoy music spanning the decades within the regular features we've come to know. It all happens each Saturday at 7 PM UK time which is 2 PM US Eastern on Team-FM!

I have some of those regular features for you to enjoy this week.
In compilation Albums of the Past, I'll tell you about Jackie, The Album, containing music which might remind you of Jackie magazine in the 70's and 80's.
