Kawasaki to partner Manx Radio with ‘Mountain Memories’ Station
To help fill the void left by the cancellation of the 2020 Isle of Man TT races – the team at Manx Radio will broadcast 7 days of “Mountain Memories,” powered by Kawasaki K-Options.
For anyone that has ever visited the island during TT fortnight, Manx Radio is definitely the “sound of the TT,” and has been on air since 1964. The station was initially established purely to broadcast the Tourist Trophy races. A team of eighteen staff produce the commentary from around the Isle of Man, with the commentary points around the course changing over time as competitors and their machines have become faster.
With no live on-course action in 2020, Mountain Memories aims to help fans around the world get a TT fix with a week-long broadcast focusing on some historical racing moments from the island, plus fantastic interviews of riders and Team Managers that have taken on the famous 37 and 3/4 mile mountain course.
Listeners will be able to tune in wherever they are in the world via the web at manxradio.com, from 8am on Friday 5th June to 6pm Friday 12th June 2020!
