An excited Dylan Taylor, a director at the station, said: “We want this to be a professionaljob and want it to be enjoyable and memorable.”
The station is also celebrating 10 years in action this month having begun in 2006, as Stump Radio and based in Blackfriars.
It’s also eight years since the current directors took over the running of the station, a time which has seen the station go from strength to strength - starting at the former Haven Gallery and now at 116 High Street.

The station has been on temporary FM licences for one month a year since 2006, with the exception of 2011.
It has seen numerous volunteers go on to work in radio elsewhere, including at the BBC
The station is always looking for local bands to perform and is looking at the option of having ‘take-overs’ by performers and charity organisations in the future.
They will also be looking for people to sponsor them, or to take out advertising with them to fund the station.
