The team behind the Old Courts in <strong>Wigan</strong> is<br />
looking to develop a community-led small scale<br />
digital audio broadcasting (DAB) project. If the<br />
bid is successful, this could mean over 20 new<br />
community and local stations based in, and<br />
focused on, the <strong>Wigan</strong> and St Helens area.<br />
The team at The Old Courts, who will lead on<br />
this project, are interested to hear from, existing<br />
community or commercial radio stations; new<br />
and emerging community or commercial radio<br />
projects; and community members.<br />
Radio <strong>Wigan</strong><br />
Jess Rotherham, The Old Courts Development<br />
Manager, said, “Small-scale DAB is an amazing<br />
opportunity to ensure that our local radio is inclusive,<br />
diverse and reflects the wants and needs of local<br />
communities.<br />
“Particularly over the past 12 months, we have seen just<br />
how important radio is to keeping people in touch and<br />
informed. We are really interested to hear from local and<br />
community radio stations who are interested in joining<br />
us on this project.”<br />
To take part in these conversations participants need to<br />
complete an online expression of interest form. Anyone<br />
already operating a digital radio channel, interested in<br />
starting one or simply want to find out more can visit<br />
www.theoldcourts.com/wiganradio to find out more and<br />
get in touch.<br />
