UK forces have set up a radio station in Basra, called, funnily enough, Radio Basra. The station is overseen by Lt Colonel Mason, a part-time soldier who is also the deputy chairman of Choice FM in London. He says "The sort of product that we are putting out is reassuring people that we're not going to disappear, and that the Saddam Hussein days are numbered".

I was hoping for someone from a cool alternative station like XFM, but this'll do for now..
