I have been working for our local community radio station SeahavenFM for the past month which has been both a delight and an eye opener. The response to our first trial broadcast on FM has been way beyond expectations and listenership has been worldwide via the internet. We have our last session on FM today and return for another month in August, but in the mean time we are chasing OfCom for a full community licence.
As part of our future development we aim to deliver a 'DJ school' giving tuition in all aspects of broadcasting so as to develop local talent. We are also linking up with local schools to encourage school children to participate in one way or another.
I feel projects like these really help the local community in actually being a community, what do you think?
