A new membership-based organization has emerged in the UK to promote the expanding number of community and independent commercial radio stations broadcasting on small-scale DAB.
Three radio experts, John Dash, Phil England, and Dominic Barker, run Local Radio Support.
John has served as a programme director at Radio Clyde and Piccadilly Radio, among other stations.
Phil has worked in radio since 1980, managing stations and programs for Global, Bauer, Nation, and TWG, the UK’s four largest radio groups. He’s also started a number of radio stations and given training services.
Dominic has built strong partnerships with several well-known consumer brands while leading local, regional, and national sales teams for Capital Radio, Classic FM, and LBC.
“Many tiny stations are operating on short resources,” John tells RadioToday. Local Radio Support allows customers to get more of the services they need at a lower cost, with the help of a team of seasoned radio specialists.”
The team may help with programming, marketing, sales, station management, license applications, compliance, legal, HR, social media, technical and transmission, grant applications, and research, among other things.
