The first hour will feature music by artists that lived in Laurel Canyon, including Joni Mitchell, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Carole King, John Mayall, The Mamas and the Papas, Jackson Browne, The Byrds, The Eagles and many others, plus many of their friends. The second segment will be a California-themed hour with a new theme chosen each week, such as "California My Way," "Pacific Coast Highway," "Music From East L.A.," "Where The Action Is" and "California Christmas." The station is locally broadcast from Biggleswade in Bedfordshire, England and simultaneously streamed live over the internet.
 

This week, Mike will present "California My Way" in the second hour of his two-hour time slot as host on the station. In this segment, every song played will include California in the title. An Al Jardine track is already included, plus two more songs with the Beach Boys that Alan wrote. Grant intends to open the show each week with a different version of "California Dreamin'," but much of what he plays will be songs you don't hear on-air in the U.K.

Mike Grant also produces the second and third hours of the show that follows his, which is called The Jukebox Drive-In.
 

"In the third hour of The Jukebox Drive-In (the feature hour), I have put together a theme of 'The Elements'," Grant explains. "Part 1, the Water section, will include 'Don't Go Near the Water' and 'Pacific Ocean Blues.'  I'll use 'Cool, Cool Water' in a future show. So Al Jardine songs will be getting a good run tomorrow. There will be some Brian Wilson also in my show. Next week my second hour will be called 'Pacific Coast Highway,' a wonderful soundtrack for an imaginary drive up Highway 101. That will include Alan's 'Drivin'.'" Altogether five hours of interesting and mainly great music planned for tomorrow (Sunday evening U.K. time, Sunday morning in the U.S.).

Just in case this is getting confusing, the schedules are as follows:

Sunday, 9 AM-11 AM PST (12 noon-2 PM EST and 5-7 PM in the U.K.)
Canyon of Dreams (in two 1-hour segments, hosted by Mike Grant)

Sunday, 11 AM-2 PM PST (2 PM-5 PM EST and 7-10 PM in the U.K.)
The Jukebox Drive-In (in three 1-hour segments, hosted by Robbie Owen)
 

Canyon of Dreams will be presented by long time California Music fan Mike Grant, for twenty-five years the editor of the fanzine, Beach Boys Stomp. Also co-producer of The Jukebox Drive-In since its inception in Hertfordshire, Mike presented that show countless times during host Robbie Owen's absence. He will continue working with Robbie Owen on The Jukebox Drive-In.
