***RadioReverb* celebrated its seventh birthday** with an all day birthday fundraising *Reverbathon* on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 of March which netted a cash boost for the community station of more than £2,000.

Saturday March 8 was also International Women’s Day, so *RadioReverb* featured only female presenters in a *Women’s Takeover Day* from 8am-midnight.

*RadioReverb* is a non-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers and is celebrating seven years of broadcasting full-time on 97.2FM.

The station is distinct from other radio services in that it aims to reflect Brighton & Hove’s diverse population, and does not broadcast any adverts relying on public donations and show sponsorship to run the station.

Listener feedback indicates that radio adverts are not popular with a large section of the audience, and a recent listener poll showed that 71% of listeners like the fact there are no adverts on RadioReverb.

For the *Reverbathon*, the station offered micro-sponsorship deals of one-off show funding, linking independent local businesses up with individual producers.

**Shows included:**

*• The Albion Roar*, a fan’s eye view of the Albion

*•* Live improvised experimental music

*•* A local business show

*•* Live acoustic sessions with local bands

*•* An International Women’s Day pub quiz

*•* Refugee Radio; Out in Brighton, the city’s only dedicated LGBT programme

*•* And genres including punk, electro, dance, grunge and funk and soul

*RadioReverb* is soon moving to new premises which will allow it to expand its service to local listeners, and to provide training in a range of radio-related skills.
