Friday June 21st, 2024 marks the 9th National Community Radio Day (NCRD) in Ireland. Itβs the day when Craol - Community Radio Forum of Ireland β and its member stations across Ireland celebrate and recognise the work and commitment of members, volunteers and staff involved in this diverse and grassroot sector of the media.
Hosted by RaidiΓ³ Corca Baiscinn, based in Kilkee Co Clare, this yearβs National Community Radio Day theme is Access for All and will promote and celebrate volunteering and involvement in Community Radio especially by people who are gender diverse and persons with different abilities.
With a mix of live guests, pre-recorded interviews and live music, hosted by RaidiΓ³ Corca Baiscinn with participation of community radio stations from the Craol network, this event will be broadcast live from Elliott Centre in Kilkee, Co Clare, between 11am and 5pm on Friday June 21st.
βRaidiΓ³ Corca Baiscinn are delighted to have been chosen to host the 2024 NCRD and we promise a lively and packed 6 hours of broadcasting, with great guests and music. Community Radio Stations across Ireland promote and represent the communities they serve broadcasting content that is relevant to their areas, providing employment and volunteering opportunities and empowering individuals, groups, and communities to tell their own stories, to share experiences and, to become creators and contributors of media. Community Radio Delivers Social Benefits to their communities and RaidiΓ³ Corca Baiscinn is committed to thisβ said Station Manager MΓ‘irΓ©ad OβHiggins Finnegan.
The CRAOL network comprises 21 fully licensed and 15 developing Community Radio stations. This special National Community Radio Day programme will be available to all Community Radio Stations to broadcast.
Community Radios aim to promote social inclusion, community cohesion and engagement, and to empower and support community broadcasters nationwide to deliver a Social Benefit to their communities, through active volunteerism, shared resources, good governance, diverse content, partnership and networking.
