Milton Keynes gets new breakfast show
Milton Keynes has its own new breakfast show on the BBC from this month. Luke Ashmead and Helen Legh have joined forces to present the new early morning programme Morning:MK on 104.5FM.
The show is part of the BBC’s commitment to the emerging city, which has a growing population and a thriving economy, and is the BBC’s first service solely dedicated to Milton Keynes.
Morning:MK, which will run from 6-9am each weekday will include extended news reports on what matters to Milton Keynes, travel news broadcast live from locations in the area, unrivalled local sports coverage with a dedicated sports team, including pre- and post-match analysis for the MK Dons and an investigative team getting to the heart of local issues.
And there’s an opportunity for everyone to get involved by sending and news and views to mk@bbc.co.uk.
Luke Ashmead has lived in Milton Keynes for 12 years, after returning to the UK from Dubai where he lived and worked. Luke has had numerous roles at BBC Three Counties Radio, and MK Dons fans will be familiar with him as commentator and sports reporter for the station.
Helen Legh, who grew up in nearby Leighton Buzzard, moved to Milton Keynes when she was 18. She has worked on a variety of radio stations across the UK, including Horizon Radio and Virgin Radio.
Olney Bells Appeal
A successful Appeal will enable the existing eight bells in the tower to be lowered and sent to a bell foundry for retuning. New steel foundation beams, together with a new steel bell frame, will be installed to replace the existing timberwork, which has now exceeded its sell-by date!
The oldest of the existing bells was cast in 1599 and is inscribed in honour of Queen Elizabeth I, ‘God save the Queen’. Six of the oldest and heaviest bells were already hanging there when John Newton was curate at the church and was writing the hymn ‘Amazing Grace’.
Following the success of the Appeal, the eight bells will be re-hung with completely new fittings, together with two new bells.
The project will cost around £115,000, but with some money expected to come in from grants, various organisations and charities, we will still need to raise around £57,000 locally.
If you would like further information please contact Chairman of the Appeal: Basil Margrave 01234 241146.
