Local radio broadcasts to Bolton
In 1997 a 28 day broadcast took place in preparation for bidding for the local licence – 'VARIETY GOLD FM.'’ When a group of over 30 enthusiasts put together a formidable effort. In 2004 a licence was issued in the name of ‘YOUR RADIO’ and the volunteers put together a 10 day broadcast with the aim of promoting events and activities available to young people during the summer holidays. The support for this was remarkable and DBBC were delighted when Ken Dodd agreed to record all the station idents and Julie Hesmondhalgh (Hayley from Coronation street) agreed to host two request shows. Other support soon followed and the broadcast was privileged to boast such names as Nick Robins and Allan Beswick from GMR, Bernard Wrigley, local MPs and Councillors - and even 'Lofty the Lion!' Local media studies students got involved and produced and presented their own shows. Roots FM We would like to hear from Heritage Groups in Bolton and Boltonians who have a story to tell about our rich heritage. Many will be used in this unique broadcast and all will be recorded and preserved. For further information please contact Dorothy or Alan Martland at DBBC on (01204) 373107 / email: dorothymartland@hotmail.com or visit our new Website at www.rootsfm.org for more information.
