Peeks to the Festa Schedule 2010 .. #6

Can't wait for the weekend to come around in order to reveal the peeks #6. So here it is now:


First programme to be announced in this blog entry is Rewind presented by Franklin Vella. Franklin will take the listeners back in time and give us some of the most popular songs of all times.
Rewind ... bringing back all the great hits you grew up listening to!!


Charles Portelli and Tagħna f'Tagħna are back for another schedule on 106.3FM. It is important that wherever you go, you always keep in mind from where you originally come from. During these 90 minutes, Charles will provide us with music from local artists. If its Wintermoods, Ira Losco, Chasing Pandora, Freddie Portelli, The Tramps, Chiara, Sammy Bartolo, Philip Vella, Enzo Guzman, The Greenfields, Mike Spiteri and many more, these are all talented Maltese singers.

What do you do if you have bleeding or burns? Do you know how to carry out basic first aid? Want to get more information on CPR? Chelsi Cefai and Noella Mifsud with the collaboration of the Malta Red Cross Gozo Branch will be presenting the programme L-Ewwel Għajnuna and answering these questions and many more.


Apart from entertaining and musical programmes, one of the most important pillars for a RLQ schedule are the religious programmes. Wilġa Bibblika produced and presented by Fr Charles Buttigieg surely has a time slot in the upcoming schedule. During this programme Fr Charles will share with our listeners interesting facts and analysis from the Holy Scripture.

Apart from this, other
programmes that fall under this category are the daily morning prayer slot Maż-Żernieq fit-Talb, the daily thoughts - Il-Ħsieb tal-Jum - by Dun Mikiel Borg and the daily slot about a
particular saint - Il-Knisja Tfakkar Illum - with Mary Josette
Xerri. Of course, the holy rosary will be aired at 5.30am, 6.30pm and 12.00am together with three masses a day - 5am, 7.15am and 7pm. Moreover, at 6pm from Monday to Saturday the programme Nirriflettu Ftit will be presented by different presenters to help the listeners prepare themselves for the evening mass.

More to come in peek #7 .. leaving the best for the last ;)

Webcam Features: Corpus Domini Procession 2010

For the benefit of those who missed the start of the Corpus Domini procession of Sunday, 06th June 2010, here is a short video captured from the wireless webcam of Radju Leħen il-Qala.

Peeks to the Festa Schedule 2010 .. #5

Hi all!! Hope that everybody is enjoying the weekend but now it's time for peek #5 .. let's see which programmes we are going to reveal next.


We'll start by introducing the fresh new slot for Qomna Jew?! daily breakfast show, Konċiż. Chelsi Cefai will provide our listeners a 5-minute informative slot about interesting facts to help us increase our general knowledge. Konċiż .. the Maltese term for saying "in brief".


For women, most especially, it is important to keep themselves look and feel beautiful through taking care of their skin, hair, hands, feet; applying make up according to their facial features and so on. Angelica Cefai will be giving out some beauty tips during The Beauty Corner ... because beauty has no limits!!




And back again for yet another schedule are RLQ's duo Savio Portelli and Ivan Cefai with their programme S&I. This fun-filled programme with some good music for their listeners intertwined with humour is back on Wednesday nights. Last summer, RLQ listeners got know two interesting male characters: Ċisju and Desmond. Will there be a comeback??


One more peek for today ... Dr Raymond C Xerri will be once again producing and presenting O Żmien Ħelu. Taking our listeners back in time, we will rediscover some facts that were once the everyday norm and by now either they are forgotten or few of us remember them. These are what make the Maltese and Gozitan culture and its a real pity if we loose our own identity, traditions and ways of living. O Żmien Ħelu .. fejn int ?
