There's an Ocean FM which broadcasts to Hampshire and the IOW. It's probably that.

Woo Hoo!
Just got a phone call from my husband Pete:
He's just completed the London marathon in 3 hours 39 mins....3 minutes faster than when in he finished in the NYC marathon in 2005 and he is now 46 years old!
He's on a ship on the Thames with all the other Childline runners who are coming in at various intervals - he was one of the first runners to arrive.
Our daughter, her boyfriend and Pete's twin brother and children are on board to greet him too. He's sounding really upbeat and happy and has just had a massage. It's a beautiful sunny day over there and he said it was very hot on the trail and he has a sunburnt head as his cap fell off after 12 miles.
I'm very proud of him and I just wish I was there to give him a big hug and a kiss.....will have to wait until he arrives at Newark airport on Tuesday!

His plane arrives at Newark at about 9.40pm tonight and I went to Party City to get a balloon for him which says "You Did It!" which I'll take to the airport when I greet him...
I'm going to Tivo "House" as it's his favourite programme but he had better not watch it 'cos I'm expecting a night of lovin' ha ha!
