\n
I first started in radio way back in January 1990 at my local station 2BCR (later renamed to B-FM, and now known as 2BACR) at Bankstown. At the time I hosted a weekly music program on Tuesday nights covering music from the 50\u2019s to the 80\u2019s. Around 1993 I changed the format to a purely R&B-based program called \u201cThe R&B Experience\u201d. Also at this time I joined our Saturday morning sports program Sports AM covering basketball & baseball.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

During mid-1996 I decided to move stations and presented a music show on 2SSR Sutherland. It was also a various music format and ran until October 1998 when I shifted to 2GLF Liverpool to do Sunday breakfast. It was also in this time that I had a short stint on commercial station 2CA Canberra. The 2CA show did not last long and I was back at 2GLF until the end of 2000.<\/span><\/p>\n

I took 2001 off to live & work in London with my wife before returning home, restarting my Sunday breakfast show at 2GLF. This last until mid-2005 when I picked up a casual show on Campbelltown\u2019s commercial station C91.3. I was there for 2 years before I lost my shift and found myself (again) back at 2GLF, this time as a duo on Sunday nights for a music program called \u201cRetro Rock Live\u201d (www.retrorocklive.com<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

We stayed at 2GLF until May 2019 when we moved on to Campbelltown\u2019s local station 2MCR. Unfortunately circumstances changed between some team members & the show wound down in August 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feeling the need to get back into solo shows I have now restarted The R&B Experience at my very first station 2BACR. I am very excited on 2 counts : playing real rhythm & blues music from Australia & around the world, and also being on my own for the first time in 13 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

And I am always happy for people to email me with music suggestions, comments, queries and the like at\u00a0rnbexperienceradio@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0or find my Facebook page \u201cThe R&B Experience Radio Show\u201d and feel free to leave your comments. Just remember to keep it clean & nice \u2013 spam or abuse will be deleted.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8489,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-7996","members","type-members","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","membertype-producer"],"yoast_head":"\nMark Flanagan - BluesWave Radio<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/blueswave.radio\/fm223\/members\/mark-flanagan\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Mark Flanagan - BluesWave Radio\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I first started in radio way back in January 1990 at my local station 2BCR (later renamed to B-FM, and now known as 2BACR) at Bankstown.
