This schedule has been in swing for the last two weeks, based on a four week timetable. This schedule was able to function due to the hard work put in by the many volunteers who give some long hours each day of their precious time. This has been greatly appreciated by the general public and an evidence of this is that all competitions have been keenly followed by the participation of 1 045 competitors, who were in turn able to win many vouchers by our gracious sponsors, whom we would once more give thanks to. This number has been achieved in just one and a half weeks.

Moreover, during this schedule we were greatly honored to have interviewed ‘The Spirit of Smokey’, who are well known all over the world as a top-chart band. During this interview we were informed of the history of the original band, Smokey, which were led by the father of one of these stalwarts. They also regaled us with one of their recent songs. Once again we would like to thank them for taking some time off, of their time.

With the great help of our patron saint, St Joseph, we look forward to being of great service to all our listeners during the remaining half, especially to our elderly, those confined to their beds and all our emigrants. Your feedback is just enough to spur us on.

The beginning of the seventh month of the year, July, marks the start of a new schedule on 106.3FM, that for the last sixteen consecutive years its volunteers have worked hard to come up with a top notch one. This year’s version is spread on four whole weeks that thanks to the efforts of numerous volunteers, we can successfully air a variety of programs, certainly touching upon the different listeners’ tastes.

Radju Leħen il-Qala (RLQ) has made it possible not only to broadcast its programs through radio but has also added its services to its listeners by going visual. As you all know, throughout this year our station has given service by broadcasting visual from our village square, and now we are working on another aspect, that is, installing a permanent camera in our church. This will help our listeners, especially our emigrants, to follow all celebrations and activities being held in our main church. This is another service which RLQ will be working hard on during the upcoming weeks, especially for the benefit of our emigrants who we know will be so anxious to follow all the activities going on during our village festa. This will help them not only to watch all procedures in the village square, but also to follow all function in our church.

All this will be made possible by the stern work done by our administration and our hard working volunteers. This broadcasting is not only done by RLQ during these four weeks leading to the village festa, but we are also at your service both local and foreign throughout the whole year. Let us take this opportunity to give a warm and deserved thanks to our Archpriest and clergy, the administration, all presenters and technicians for all their numerous sacrifices so that once again, it is possible to be able to broadcast such a schedule of such a high level. Another special thanks goes to our benefactors whom we know that only with their great help, can RLQ continue to transmit and be heard in our local homes. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all Ġużeppini a hearty feast.
