To take our online radio station , to DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) for the South Herts Area

by ajkradio in Watford, , United Kingdom

Radio is in my blood.

From being a volunteer presenter, programmes controller, personnel officer with Watford Hospital Radio for 26 years. 

Then launching my own online Radio Station Christmas Day 2015. The stations mission,

‘An eclectic music mix, NOT the same 10 songs an hour, using the official UK charts archive as a base. Specialist shows.

December 2024 - I've been given a fantastic opportunity to take the next steps in my radio journey, broadcasting the station on DAB to South Herts. Coverage areas to a potential 1 million adults.

The Stations application for a digital license was approved by OFCOM at the start of December 2024

Launch Day is 1st February 2025 10am

But…. this is where YOU come in.....

I needs your help.

Money raised here is to cover as much of the license costs for the first year

The monthly Digital cost of getting us on air via DAB

The yearly cost for PPL / PRS - music rights , performing rights.

The online running costs have always been and will continue to be covered personally and with another friend who is also involved with the station.

Alex, is looking for volunteer presenters from the coverage area to help fill the 24 hour schedule. Full training and help with the kit required will be given.

Local businesses are invited to sponsor shows, or limited advert space. 

If you would like to monthly donate towards the stations journey and become a patron that too would be appreciated.

There will undoubtedly be other way we will need support along the way.

 

Thank you for reading , and supporting a new community station for South Herts.
