We’re Moving to Willow Grove

As we write, we’re mov­ing into our third year, and we’re in the process of mov­ing our head­quar­ters to a new loca­tion on the Wil­low Grove region. The SLURL is http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Willow%20Grove/192/31/2801

All our Spon­sors, Friends and Patrons’ rental pan­els are now in the back room at the new HQ. There should­n’t be any inter­rup­tion in these services.

Over the com­ing year, you can expect a con­tin­u­a­tion of our unique pro­gram­ming, includ­ing new episodes of our orig­i­nal series, some of which are cur­rent­ly on hia­tus. “The Mag­ic of The Musi­cal” will start a new sea­son in April, and until then we’ll be run­ning some favourite episodes in the Sat­ur­day 2pm SLT slot. And when the series returns in the Spring, it’ll be broad­cast live from a brand new loca­tion. Sim­i­lar­ly, there will be new episodes of “Where Have You Been?”, where we vis­it places of inter­est around the Grid,  begin­ning next month — and until then we’ll be re-run­ning some shows cov­er­ing still-cur­rent SL loca­tions and activities.

Keep an eye on the web site here for the lat­est details.

We at Vir­tu­al Com­mu­ni­ty Radio extend our con­do­lences to our friends and col­leagues in the Unit­ed King­dom and the Com­mon­wealth on the death of Her Majesty Queen Eliz­a­beth II. Her reign was long, and filled with many events that both chal­lenged and advanced the lives of her peo­ple, while she inspired the world.  We pay our respects and hon­our her memory.

We are cur­rent­ly pre­sent­ing a pro­gramme of music by a vari­ety of British com­posers fol­low­ing this sad event.
