Bingo Radio

Hello everyone. The live show is taking a break until Wednesday night while we get ready to celebrate Bingo Radio’s third birthday with a special show this coming Sunday 9th October.

In the meantime, if you press the red Radio button on the Game Village game screen at around 9pm TONIGHT (Monday) you will be able to hear a revised repeat of what we recorded on Saturday from the Ivy Hotel in Swindon.

There are quick chats with chat hosts, players, dedications and requests all squeezed into 2 hours. You’ll also hear some party favourites to remind you of the night.

A special thank you from me to everyone who came over with a present (espeically those that were edible or drinkable – all now gone!) and in particular elveress50′s 7-year-old grandson who make a wonderful poster for me which is now on the Bingo Radio studio wall (if only I had that much hair!)

Right, I’m off to go dancing in the street until 3am… oh no, hang on, that’s enough of that for one year!

See you all on Wednesday.

Hi everyone!

Welcome to another month at Bingo Radio and throughout March we’re providing more chances to win bigger prizes! Plus, we’ve swapped around the schedule this month so that we’re with you live on Saturday between 7pm and midnight.

Here’s what to listen out for…

7.30 The Secret Seven returns! This time the prize pot starts at £25 and grows by £2 per night until someone wins big! We pay £5 each time one of the songs is guessed so it’s worth a listen. Our last winner was imdesperate who walked away with over £100!

Between 8 and 9pm it’s The Bingo Radio Goldrush! Just keep listening out for a song with the word GOLD in its title, and when you hear one simply email the word GOLD to studio@bingoradio.com and you could win one of two 100% deposit golden envelopes. These can be used on Saturdays only, but are worth up to £100 each! Players are also allocated a number from 1 to 8, and the player whose number is called first on the 8pm Village Inn game on the Saturday wins £25. (Players must email support to receive the bonus, and must claim the £25 prize from the host before the end of the game.)

9.30 Golden Goose – The GameVillage Goose has laid an egg, and it’s your job to guess how much the egg is worth – it could be anything from just a pound to a whopping £30! Listen out for the goose laying the egg at 9.30 an then email your guess to studio@bingoradio.com – it’s limited to one guess per player, but you’ll have 15 minutes to get your email to the studio.

For the month of March at 10.00 it’s The Golden Hour! Just like the GameVillage 10@10 except for one rule – your request must be a golden oldie, so no songs from the past 11 years please. We pay for each song we play, either £2, £10 if you’re lucky and win the bonus, or 1,000 points if you’re a free player.

11.00 Elevenses continues in March, with more songs on a theme chosen by a listener, we’re still looking for more ideas and there’s a £5 reward for every theme that’s used.

And at the later time of 12.00 we go Mellow After Midnight with 30 minutes of relaxing tunes to round off the night

PLUS WITH OUR NEW SATURDAY SHOW…

It’s nearly that time again of year again…

Yes, love is in the air as we head towards St Valentine’s Day on Monday 14th February. But here at Bingo Radio we’ve decided we can’t wait until then. So, starting this Saturday evening at 8pm we’ll be playing a song with the word LOVE in the title (and there are lots of them!) every hour until 8am. Whenever you hear a song with the word LOVE in the title, just email LOVE to support@gamevillage.com for a chance to win a fantastic prize!

There are also some changes on Friday and Monday as Mark heads off to Prague for a few days to celebrate his birthday (we hear it’s minus 5 over there – let’s hope he gets a scarf, hat and gloves as a present). This means there will be no live show until Tuesday, when the Secret Seven will be worth nearly £200 and all of February’s regular games and competitions continue as normal.

You might have noticed, there’s a musical theme to February at Game Village and Bingo Radio.
