Local Radio in Accy - Page 2

Well the advertisement is still there on the main page so presumably the application is still pending.

As I looked at the posts on this thread this evening, there it was, right below
"Back the Bee for Local Radio", so I assume they're still looking to gain a broadcast licence from the radio authority.

I like Radio Lancashire and 2BR when I'm in Accy. When I'm further west and the signal is weak, I like The Bay.

When I'm here in Hampshire, I like to listen to Radio Lancashire on line and BBC1 North West & Granada ITV on Sky tv.

(PS I'm glad Stanley got a good result at Aldershot on Saturday, I would have faced a ribbing at work otherwise!

This ad just came up beneath the thread but it looks a little bit out of date to me.

Roy, Can you up-date us on radio station "BEE" Please? Will it be a going concern?.......

My first post after being exiled in a country that seemingly does not want foreigners to have internet access, but thats for another post!

Anyway, TheBee have paid for 12 months of advertising here at accyweb... I don't know why the July witton park banner came up as it was supposed to have been replaced. As far as I know the application is still up for grabs and there are 2 other parties involved and they are both from london/somewhere else. The Bee are a local company...

I'll email the main man about it and try to get some more info...

Great news!

Today Ofcom have awarded the new Blackburn local radio licence to The Bee.

This means not only has our years and years of hard work rewarded us, and made me for one a very happy person, but also that Blackburn with Darwen and Hyndburn will have a new radio station in Summer 2005.

Thanks to everyone who has given us support - and watch http://www.thebee.co.uk for all the details over the next few months.

Please use this forum as a way of letting us know what you would like from a new local radio station - or email me direct roy . martin @ the bee .co .uk (remove spaces)
Cheers!

Roy

Thats absolutely great news Roy. And thanks for letting us know so soon after hearing the news yourself!

I really do wish you all the best for the radio station as I know you've been working hard on it.

I also hope our members will be able to help you out with suggestions for the new station, although I'm sure the main suggestion will be great coverage of Accrington Stanley!

Good luck and I hope to tune in soon!

I too listen to Century but thats mainly because I can stick with the one station all the way to work. otherwise I'd be swapping stations every two minutes.

I saw adverts in the local papers only last week for jobs at The Bee. They're looking for presenters, news journalists and others. Looking at job adverts is a hobby of mine, you can find out all sorts of stuff if you know who's recruiting.

Anyway, Simon Brierley who used to be on the early show on 2br - often listened to him - is the new head of The Bee. They should be on air in September time ish.

Gayle · 01-08-2005, 09:38

Oh, and for my money, 2Br is the best local radio station - but I've recently turned into a Radio 2 girl. Think it must be my age! lol.

harwood red · 01-08-2005, 09:53

well I am stuck on Talk Sport at mo, I love it and although the name suggests all sport there are some great non sport phone-ins especially at night. I listen to it in the car and in the eve on the internet whilst I'm pottering around accy web!

grego · 01-08-2005, 10:26

I dont get to listen to the radio much but in the car I still listen to radio 1.
