The Radio Station Making a Difference
Graeme has recently paid a visit to Radio North Angus, a local non-profit radio station located here in Angus, which is using its platform to promote local issues and elevate local charities who are doing vital work in helping the vulnerable people of Angus.
Being an entirely voluntary local commercial radio station, Graeme wished to visit to gain insight into the challenges posed by working in local radio, and the work being done by the station in its effort to promote our local institutions.
Graeme also hopes with his visit to raise awareness of Radio North Angus and the role it plays in keeping Angus and Tayside informed of local issues, news, and charity work. Broadcasting across the region, the voluntary presenters at Radio North Angus are helping keep their listeners informed and, more importantly, entertained.
During this meeting, Graeme discussed with the volunteers the barriers faced by commercial broadcast radio stations, and how Radio North Angus’s non-profit status allows it flexibility in the variety of content that they broadcast, and how its volunteer team allow the station to offer low-cost advertising which is more accessible for small local businesses in Angus.
Graeme was showed the wide range of broadcast programmes provided on the station, such as the daily College Connection, and Lunch ‘n’ Listen.
