Saint FM threatened with closure

  • Saint FM’s  five-year licence runs out in November and the station will be taken off the air unless extra funding can be found.

    Station manager Sandra Amey-Martin said: “I’m incredibly proud of everything we’ve achieved at the radio station.

    “We do a lot of training with pupils from both the secondary schools in the Maldon District and give a loud and local voice to community groups and charities and I think that will be greatly missed if the station closes down.

    “The licence runs out at the end of the year and we have until the end of May to apply for another one.

    “The station costs around £35,000-a-year to run and the board has unfortunately decided not to back us for another year.

    “We’re all absolutely gutted and there’s a campaign on Facebook to keep us going.

    “Obviously if there are any local businesses out there who would like to get involved with this brilliant community project that would be fantastic.

    “The station has been part of the community for such a long time now I really do think it would be such a loss for it to be shut down.”

    We have Run a number of hands-on training programmes and Saint FM has been the starting place for many local radio careers.

    “The Board and I are incredibly proud of all of the work Saint FM has done and the part we’ve played in the Maldon community and if there is anyone who would be able to help we’d love to hear from them.”

Breakfast Today

Hi guys,
Just writing on here to let you know I’m back again with Breakfast from half 7 till 10 this morning, exclusively on Saint FM 94.7…
On the show, I’ll take a look at what’s going on events-wise in our calendar, so you’re all clued up on possible things to do over the next couple of days-I’ll be doing that at 25 past 8 and at 9 30.

After 8 o’clock this morning, Rich Tracey (from Tech Show) will be stopping by to talk about his fund-raising overnight broadcast he’ll be doing, tonight here on Maldon and Burnham’s Saint FM.

I’ll speak to John Whittingdale (the local MP for Maldon and Saint FM’s man at Westminster) for our weekly chat about what he’s been doing locally and nationally over the last week, along with his future plans for the week ahead.

Along with all this, you can choose another Topical Tune:

http://web.orange.co.uk/article/quirkies/Man_changes_name_to_Tyrannosaurus_Rex

So if you have any suggestions for a possible track related to the story linked above, as always, I want to hear what it is, before 20 to 10 (the song I like most from all your suggestions will be played at 10 to 10, just before the end of the show).
You can contact me by calling our Burnham studios (based at the Ormiston Rivers Academy) on 01621 785 689, email:

studio@saintfm.org.uk

or you can text in to 84555 (It’ll cost you 25 P in addition to your normal charge and you’ll need to put the word Saint and a space before your message), or leave your suggestions on this blog.

Would love your thoughts regarding Topical Tune suggestions-along with any requests in general-whatever you want will be played, as long as I have it in the studio.

Well must go and get on with last minute preparations for the show now-talk to you at half 7!
