Neil here with an August update. Additions this month to the website and radio schedule!
ONLINE, ON MOBILE, AND ON YOUR SMART SPEAKER
We’re fully up and running with free apps for both iOS and Android. Just search either app store for Love Medway Radio. You can also listen via this website or enable the Alexa skill for your smart device. Ultimate goal – one day – is to get the station on DAB radio!
LOCAL NEWS
We’ve reached an arrangement with the good people at www.localauthority.news (Kent News Website of the Year) to carry local new items on this site, and also in short radio bulletins. Stay tuned for The Medway Report – coming soon!
SCHEDULE ADDITIONS
This month we have welcomed Russ to the station with The Chatterday Show! It’s a weekly interview show featuring Medway people and personalities and you can hear it on Saturdays at 5pm, with a repeat on Sundays at 8pm. Russ also puts the show on a Spotify podcast. We have also welcomed Matthew to Saturday afternoons with We Love the 90s – an hour of nostalgia every week. Amy continues with Chaos, Saturdays at 7pm, but the show is now one hour. These changes have resulted in Lee’s Dance Party Weekly moving to an evening slots from 8-11pm on Saturdays. We also have a new syndicated show from Dr Hilary Jones, which goes out on Sunday at 5pm and Monday at 11am.
VOLUNTEERS
I’m so grateful to our team of volunteers. But we still have a long way to go before the daytime schedule is fully populated by live presenters. Breakfast, mid-morning, lunch, afternoon and drive are essential live slots for a radio station and currently we’ve only magaged one – that’s me doing breakfast. If you or anyone you know in Medway has any broadcast experience and would like to be involved in this new local station, please email neil@lovemedway.co.uk for more info. At the moment we have no income; we’re operating from home on a shoestring budget so we need volunteers. But the ambition is to create a local radio business.
FEEDBACK
Please tune in and give us some feedback. What do you want from a local radio station? Is there anything we could be doing differently? What would you like to hear?
