What’s On and When
Program Changes
There has been a change to our Friday line up starting from the 18th October.
In Week 1 Computalk and in Week 2 Aeon, both airing 12:30am have come to an end and we have decided to replace them both by moving The Documentary, normally airing at 08:00 Friday in both weeks, to that timeslot.
We have chosen to replace the 08:00am slot with Happy Pants, a much needed kids program from our friends at Vision Australia
