West Wolds Radio

INTRODUCING WEST WOLDS RADIO

Bielby residents interested in supporting the area’s new community radio station are invited to the next drop-in events taking place at Pocklington Arts Centre.

West Wolds Radio will start broadcasting in the summer serving Pocklington and district, and the station will be operated by volunteers. Already, healthy numbers of local people have made contact with the team behind the plans, eager to tackle different jobs from presenting to helping on technical issues.

West Wolds Radio will broadcast daily on FM, online and via mobiles to a population of 11,000 people across this part of East Yorkshire, with a mix of news, music, features, sport, theatre, creative writing and  specialist shows.

Manager Stuart Cocker says: “People have heard about us from Facebook, reading about the station in the press or from other local people. We’re busy converting studios in Market Street to become our headquarters so the progress is very exciting and we’re keen to come out with our programmes to places like Bielby when we are on the air.”

The next coffee mornings at the Arts Centre will be on Saturday 16^th May, 10am-12.30pm on 20^th June or 11^th July, all from 10am. Admission is free and it provides the opportunity for people to drop in to talk to the directors on a one-to-one basis about any aspect of West Wolds Radio.  Further information is available at www.westwoldsradio.co.uk, like us on Facebook or on Twitter @westwoldsradio.
