From The Island Free Press. NCBBA is an Underwriter for and a supporter of Radio Hatteras. Tune in if you are on the island for the holidays. Special programming planned on Radio Hatteras for Christmas and New Years To add some extra sparkle to the holiday season, Radio Hatteras is celebrating with special stories and traditional and contemporary Christmas music. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Radio Hatteras play list will be all Christmas music. For the young and the young-at-heart, Christmas Stories from the Attic, read by station volunteers, can be heard at the top of every hour. Wondering where the title for these stories came from? Recently, a Radio Hatteras volunteer was helping move Christmas decorations from her familys attic. She found a box filled with Christmas storybooks from her childhood. She brought them to the station where its “elves” went to work recording some of those stories. Some elves even added favorites from personal collections. Several of these stories have been playing at 7 p.m. since Saturday, Dec. 20. All will be broadcast on Dec. 24 and 25 between 6 a.m. and midnight, at the top of every hour. On Christmas Eve and again on Christmas Day, Radio Hatteras will air “The Music That Stopped World War I,” a short program about the unofficial Christmas Truce of 1914. This year marks the 100th anniversary of that amazing event, which began spontaneously in the trenches on the war’s West Front on Christmas Eve 1914. Created and produced by Linda Browning, host of the stations music show, The Folk Way, “The Music That Stopped World War I” will be narrated by Lou Browning and will include carols and songs that were sung by the German and British troops in the trenches that Christmas. It will air at 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. On New Year’s Eve, more special programming on Hatteras Islands community radio station is planned as the station follows midnight around the world. Starting at 7 a.m., Dec. 31, Radio Hatteras will share interesting New Years trivia and facts as midnight comes across the time zones of the world. The midnight narrative will be followed by a music selection from that particular time zone. The top-of-the hour presentations are timed to reach the Eastern U.S. time zone at midnight New Year’s Eve and will continue until 6 a.m. as midnight comes to the U.S. West Coast, Alaska, Hawaii, and the Midway Islands. The volunteers at Radio Hatteras invite the Hatteras Island community to turn the radio dial to 101.5 and 99.9 FM and enjoy all of this special holiday programming.
