East coast Radio (ECR) is an online Community Radio Station who are in the process of applying for an FM licence for Grimsby, Mablethorpe, Scunthorpe, Sutton-on-sea, Chapel St. Leonards, Ingoldmells and Skegness.
We are part of Radwave Ltd, which is a non-profit making CIC (Community Interest Company) and any profits made after expenses, will be allocated to community groups and charities of our choice.
and individuals, regardless of age or circumstance.
Our core purpose is to provide uplifting music, chat, information and
national and local news. Content of the programmes are at the influence and
request of you, the listener. We work with local groups and charities as
well as local authorities and councils and give them a platform from which
to reach a wider audience.
We are staffed by a cross-section of people from our community who give
their time on a voluntary basis and they represent the values and views of
the community. There are many roles within East Coast Radio and we hope
that through volunteering with us, people will gain experience, knowledge
and confidence.
We also offer a structured, individualised programme of work experience in
the areas of presentation, production and journalism. We have close
connections with the crime reduction team and local colleges and anyone
over the age of 16 would be considered to gain work experience with
us. However, we are a relatively small organisation and demand is high.
We will endeavour to do our best to accommodate all applicants.
