MONDAY
HOWARD'S RETRO HOUR - Summer Mondays from 7 - 8pm. We are delighted to announce this summer slot for Howard, as his 50's & 60's Retro Show
has been without a regular home in the schedule for the last few weeks.
As he used to be on for two hours once every three weeks he's also
gained an hour a month for his patience. We hope to be able to offer
this show a new regular slot elsewhere in the schedule when the Cardiff
City Phone-In returns. You can email him via howard@gtfm.co.uk
