It's been 7 hours and 13 days - Worldwide simulcast of Nothing Compares 2 U on May 4

This was posted in another thread, but I thought it deserved its own item.

KCMP (89.3 The Current), the Minnesota pubic radio station which became the focus of nationwide attention and admiration just after Prince's death by almost immediately switching to all-Prince programming, which allowed many grieving people to listen to Prince's music online, is spearheading a nationwide simulcast of "Nothing Compares 2 U" on Wednesday, May 4. Participating stations will play the song 7 hours and 13 days after Prince's death. Actual air time depends upon your time zone.

To listen to the stream, go to thecurrent.org/listen.

The Current's story is here:

And Billboard covers it here:

So that's 23:07 London time, right?

Would be nice to think some UK stations picked up on this too but at that time of night I doubt they'll do it.
