Live from Menlo Park -- and the BBC

Menlo Park hits the airwaves on Friday, May 20, when a radio station will broadcast live from the British Bankers Club bar at 1090 El Camino Real.

The station 107.7 The BONE will broadcast from noon to 6 p.m. as part of a series of shows at different towns in the Bay Area. The event will include a live band and a prize giveaway.

In addition, people will be able to pay $1.07 to spin a prize wheel, with the proceeds going to the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity, radio station officials said.
