Radio ready to hit airwaves

12:55pm Tuesday 23rd October 2007 in Search By Tom Shepherd

PREPARATIONS for Corinium Radio's fourth broadcast are gathering pace.

The radio station, set up in last year to give people a chance to hear a local station run by local people, hits the airwaves over the weekend of November 23-25 with a mix of music, information, chat and comedy.

But broadcasters are already looking to the future.

Corinium Radio spokesman Geoff Carr said: "We have a studio for next month's broadcast, but we are looking for a bigger location for future radio shows in 2008.

"Anyone who can help, be it a local business or company or even a private radio fan, is urged to make themselves known to us."

With costs mounting, the station's management team also needs sponsors.
