The volunteer run station’s aim is to offer radio that reflects Brighton and Hove’s diverse communities, interests and events and they are looking to expand their roster of DJs and new shows to reflect this.
Melita Dennet, Chair of RadioReverb, explained: “We’re looking for talented people with ideas for shows that reflect the ethos of Reverb, the diverse nature of the city and the wonderful communities across the area.
“We exist to make radio that does not sound like mainstream radio, we want people with something unique to offer Brighton & Hove.”
In their search for new shows, RadioReverb is hoping to find a variety of ideas to rival their already unique line-up which includes Frockabilly, the UK’s only female fronted rockabilly show, Out in Brighton, the only LGBT radio show in the city and Time for T, which is the UK’s only transgender show on FM radio.
The main focus of the search is for speech-based shows that reflect Brighton and Hove’s diverse communities, interests and events or that are made by and for people currently under-represented on radio by virtue of gender, race, sexuality, ability, age etc.
There will also be space for speech or music-based shows that focus on a specific subject or genre which is not currently represented either in RadioReverb’s output or on mainstream radio.
To be part of this new opportunity all you need is a great idea for an original radio show and RadioReverb will ensure you receive industry standard training from their award-winning trainer, Kathy Caton.
Melita added: “We are looking for originality, we want DJs and people with strong connections to what’s happening in Brighton & Hove and what makes the city tick.”
RadioReverb is the 24 hour community run radio station for Brighton and Hove. All shows they produce are open for sponsorship from local businesses.
