Matured by age and experience and a community based broadcast station. Its primary aim is to bring to the people enjoyment. Like its name; this radio station has a very fine vintage, wide range of music of your choice, laughter, drama, poetry, and pearls of wisdom derived from people such as yourselves. Our presenters are from all backgrounds, some are past and present entertainers in their own right and others have found some new talents since joining us.
All our volunteers devote their time and energy, some to the technical side or administrative duties that make our broadcasts actually possible.
Some: The presenters, story tellers, interviewers, sit behind the play desk and bring to the listeners a wide range of musical taste, perhaps also reading stories, or poetry maybe even acting in small drama productions and occasionally interviewing interesting and prominent members of our communities.
If you or one of your colleagues involved in some community organisation would like to visit our studio and maybe take part in a simple interview where you can talk about your activities, promote some function and get some publicity for your cause, you are more than welcome, just contact the studio or one of the committee members we will and take it from there.
