About
The station was set up by a grant from The National Lottery, and since then it has continued to grow and grow. Our aim is to provide an opportunity for anyone interested in radio and the community to become actively involved with the radio station. We have a particularly keen interest in supporting and promoting local community groups, events and local businesses throughout the area.
