BusinessFind News, 28th January 2011

A new community radio station in Cambridge has really brought the community spirit back to its new premises after formally being run in a resident’s home. Cambridge 105 employed a few of the carpentry students from the local Cambridge Regional College to help fully renovate their new studios in an industrial unit in Gwydir Street.

Under the professional and careful supervision of their lecturer the three students – Joe Clements, 18, from Bar Hill, Chris MacFadyen, 18, from Royston, and Dan Wright, 24, from Hardwick, all helped and worked extremely hard on the project which will equip them for the future.
Peter Monaghan, who is an assessor and also a director of the station, said: “We started with just a basic industrial unit with nothing in it, and the first thing the students did was to build two rooms to use as studios so that we could start broadcasting from there in December”.

The station is run by volunteers and broadcasts to the whole local community providing entertainment as well as informative news and local information, and is billed as vital for the locals, and with this in mind it was great that local students had such a vital role in the set up of the new studio, and also the fact that local trade depot company Travis Perkins donated the materials.

Peter Monaghan went on to say “We’re also very grateful to Travis Perkins in Devonshire Road for donating all the materials to make the build possible.”

Securing the future of Community Radio

Cambridge Radio is the Community broadcaster for Cambridge and South Cambs.

Our brief is to give a voice to those sometimes excluded from traditional media. And the presenters you hear on air are all volunteers themselves who give up their time for free. We do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who listens to our shows, our podcasts, the businesses we feature, helps to pay for it, our future would be much more secure.
