V2 Radio - your new local radio station!
Chichester, England, United Kingdom
Aim
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to huge changes to local radio, but we aim to bring back your favourite local presenters to West Sussex!
The global COVID-19 pandemic has led to huge changes to local radio including the loss of some locally made programmes here in West Sussex. Presenters you know including Milly & Crouchie, Nick Hobbs, Neale Bateman, Peter Phillips, Steve Freegard and Gary Booker have been working tirelessly to launch V2 Radio to bring back proper local radio to West Sussex.
What is V2 Radio about?
V2 Radio is a brand new digital radio station with the aim of serving Sussex, initially with a focus on the West Sussex area. The station will have a broad appeal to an audience passionate about local issues, news and events together with a mix of familiar music from the last 5 decades. V2 will be available across all of the main digital on-line platforms as well as DAB. Programmes will be presented by veterans of the broadcasting industry, already well known to listeners in Sussex, with a wealth of experience of providing radio services locally, nationally and internationally. V2 Radio will have a strong community ethos - getting involved in local events, the arts and festivals, being visible through regular outside broadcasts and supporting local businesses and charities.
Our mission is to make a real difference locally by:
a. Bringing back “proper local radio” to the area;
b. Generating significant donations for our charitable causes, with 10% of station earnings being used directly for local causes through our “local community chest”;
c. Being the destination station for local news, travel information, and entertainment programming;
d. Featuring a broad spectrum of popular music from the 1960’s to today, as well as entertaining and informative programming relevant to the local area;
V2 Radio will be launching on DAB in January 2021 and across other platforms in December 2020. Listeners can hear us via our apps, our website radio player and through smart speakers.
How will this Crowdfunding campaign help?
The biggest cost for a radio station like ours is transmission and broadcast equipment and to help our launch in these uncertain times when advertising rates are at an all time low, we're crowdfunding to pay for the first six months of our transmission and equipment fees. Your support will allow our team time to grow an advertising base to secure the long term future of this much needed service.
How can advertisers support V2 Radio further?
The rewards column offers different advertising options that are at the lowest rates they'll ever be. However, if there isn't any options that suit your business or if you'd like to find out about our sought after sponsorship partnerships, please contact us on [email protected]
Finally...
Thank you for your interest in supporting us - it's greatly valued to us all. We look forward to bringing back proper local radio to West Sussex.
