ABOUT RADIO WARRINGTON
Radio Warrington is a not-for-profit organisation, run and operated by unpaid volunteers. We set up in March 2007 because we wanted to offer people in Warrington the chance to get involved with a 24/7 radio station and learn radio skills, particularly disadvantaged or disabled people. As we are a community radio station, our new studios are in the heart of the town at Warrington Market.
What opportunities can Radio Warrington offer?
As a community radio station we are able to offer :-
Work Experience;
Training for local radio presenters & sports reporters;
Training for audio production;
Training for local radio news journalism;
Opportunities for people to help out on a radio station;
Involvement in our many outside broadcasts;
Facilities for local musicians to record their music for broadcast;
Access for all members of the community to produce programming which would not otherwise be made or broadcast by local radio stations but is important to the Warrington community.
How can I get involved?
Send an email to [email protected] and we will arrange a time when you can visit our studios for a look around and we can discuss what you might want to do.
What music do we play?
We play well known songs by well known artists, ranging from the 60s right up to date and we play a far larger variety of musical styles. Our music library does not suffer from the constraints of other local radio stations who choose to select from a much smaller music library. We currently run a number of specialist shows that feature music that has been popular in Warrington over the years. Importantly we also integrate a lot of these specialist genres into our daily output to keep it interesting. As most of us work in the bars and clubs of Warrington we are made well aware of the music that is popular in the town and have applied this to our playlist. We also showcase local bands and artists and regularly welcome them into our studios to talk to us about their music.
How is Radio Warrington different?
We have intentionally set about serving and involving members of the community by producing programming which other stations have chosen not to make. For example, when the Wolves play at home we broadcast our full show from the press bench at the Halliwell Jones stadium including an uninterrupted FULL MATCH commentary. We sometimes cover away games as well when funding allows. We also broadcast from Warrington Town’s home games and have most of their away games as well. We already have an outside broadcast vehicle which we use to do dozens of live shows from all over the area, visiting schools, local events &businesses.
We offer training to all Warrington people, regardless of experience, age or disabilities.
We present discussion programmes on a regular basis with local people discussing local issues. We also present a regular live showcase of local music.
All of our programming output comes from our studios in Warrington (including evenings and overnight) with none of it piped in from other parts of the country. We believe that all of this makes us different from what is being offered by other local radio stations. Since our local commercial radio station moved its studios from Warrington to Wigan we are now the only public radio station in Warrington!
We have also begun a programme of training for broadcasters. In the past, new presenters would get their experience by broadcasting on late evening or overnight slots. Most other radio stations now take a central network feed during these hours, so the opportunities for new broadcasters to practice their craft are rare. Radio Warrington has many experienced presenters who will teach these potential broadcasters and then allocate the necessary air-time to practice and learn.
How will we serve the community better?
Warrington is a large town with over 200,000 residents and there is always plenty going on. Unfortunately very few of these events are publicised on local radio or other media. Radio Warrington currently promotes any event in Warrington that it is made aware of and invites all local organisations and charities to forward details of these events to us.
Equally there is a lot of musical talent in this area and we like to showcase this on the radio. We have had most of Warrington’s leading bands in our studios to discuss and play their music.
We will continue doing many outside broadcasts in the Warrington area involving as many local people as we can. Given the resources we will support local charities, especially those which help people with confidence or communication difficulties.We also work closely with the local colleges and universities to offer up and coming broadcasters real radio experiences.
How does Radio Warrington make its money?
Most commercial radio stations make their money by running adverts. Radio Warrington is a not-for-profit organisation and does not run adverts. We rely on some of the town’s leading businesses to make a small monthly donation to cover our running costs.
How can we listen to Radio Warrington?
Details of how to listen to us can be found at the top of this page. We can also supply a small sender which plugs into the loudspeaker or headphone socket of a computer to receive the signal on any nearby radio. Alternatively we can arrange to have an extension loudspeaker installed at home or in the workplace. If you have a Tannoy system in your workplace, you can easily connect it to Radio Warrington. If you have wireless internet you can buy an internet radio (also known as WiFi radio) which picks up from your wireless internet box and allows you to listen to thousands of internet radio stations across the world (including Radio Warrington)
If you listen to us in your workplace and are having problems connecting to Radio Warrington or piping it through to your sound system we have engineers who would be quite happy to visit your workplace to sort it out for you (usually for free).
