Listen up … local radio for North Edinburgh?

A Local Radio Station?

Various people have suggested that a local radio station for Muirhouse/West Pilton/Drylaw and the surrounding area might be a positive development. Some of the positive aspects of this proposal might be:

  • Training opportunities for local people in radio and media (with possible links between local high school and Edinburgh College)
  • Opportunities for local bands and individuals to gain experience produce demos and be given air time
  • Opportunities for local projects to get their information across to the local communities
  • Slots throughout the week with different types of themes ie music, younger and older audiences, new migrant communities etc
  • An overall increase in artistic and creative activity in the area

Interestd? An initial meeting has been organised to discuss the possibility of creating a local radio station, and will take place on

Wednesday 12 June at 5pm 

in North Edinburgh Arts Centre

15A Pennywell Court, Edinburgh, EH4 4TZ.

All welcome
