Official press release:
This is quite possibly the news that everyone has been waiting for, and so close to David Bowie's surprise comeback too.
Let us get straight to the point; The Sunday Alternative is coming back.
Please allow that to sink in a moment. Steve Oliver returns to worldwide radio on Sunday 7th April with one of the most popular radio shows of all time.
Starting again at the new time of 7pm-9pm, the show has had a revamp without moving too much of the furniture around. The music will remain of the highest standard; unsigned, punk, ska, alternative, and live sessions. Steve actually hopes to encourage an 'open mic' type atmosphere on the show, with musicians turning up at random to play live on air.
Last week, Steve wrote on his daily blog:
"I resigned from Trent Sound as a result of a petty argument, and never actually wanted to stop doing the show that I regard as my baby. You shouldn't pick a favourite child, but of all the projects I am involved in, The Sunday Alternative is probably the one that I will always be associated with and I'm delighted to be able to bring it back, if only to stop people asking me if I'm ever going to do it again.
Obviously I am proud of my involvement with NottinghamLIVE and the promotion of Nottingham's music scene, and of course I also love the show I do in America, again promoting Nottingham's musical output. Both shows are of vital importance, not only to Darren and myself, but to Nottingham. I will be continuing to do these shows on top of my commitment to The Sunday Alternative."
