War of the Worlds

Really enjoying this on Star at the moment - congratulations to those responsible (Mermaids I think). I wouldn't say I'm fleeing the office in panic but it's been very well put together and is an ingenious use of student radio. Loving the varying success of the cast in wrestling with the American accents too - it's like Deliverance meets Sense and Sensibility...

Would it be possible to access these broadcasts at a later date? For obvious reasons I've not been following it, but I'd very much like to hear it given the opportunity.

I don't get it: if you're only broadcasting over the internet, why would you need any kind of license whatsoever to to make available for download content that is not, as far as I'm aware, covered by any current copyright?

Ah, good point, actually. I forgot what the subject was and just gave the standard explanation. The production of War of the Worlds could indeed be rebroadcast, provided there was no music in it.

Make it so!

Going back to the original subject of this post... due in part to public demand, but mostly because Thursday 30th of October is the 70th Anniversary of its first ever broadcast, STAR will be repeating Mermaids Presents... War of the Worlds at 8PM.

That is Thursday 30th of October at 8PM for the repeat of Mermaids Presents... War of the Worlds.

Hope that appeases the critics.

STAR's own version of the controversial radio play will air again tonight at 8pm on www.standrewsradio.com.

Just a heads up.

This is actually really good- loving the fuzzy dead air after aliens have started to attack. Bravo to those who're involved.
