Red Sands Radio: Staffing shortages hit local FM radio station
Staffing shortages hit local FM radio station
Based in the historic harbour at Whitstable, Red Sands Radio originally broadcast from the Offshore Forts and this year is suffering a severe shortfall in staff
“Red Sands Radio Founder MD and Programme Director Bob Le-Roi said; “With a small core of dedicated key members it’s always been difficult to juggle life-work commitments with running Red Sands Radio”
“We strive to achieve a high standard at Red Sands Radio with core daytime programmes hosted by professional broadcasters. However, when they become indisposed or indeed things go wrong we don’t have sufficient quality back-up”
“This coupled with a shortfall at weekends; we haven’t the resources to provide the quality of service the Coastal Towns expect of us. Consequently with regret, it’s unlikely Red Sands Radio will be on-air for its 9th successive year in 2015”

“London’s pirate radio” – this Sunday
Southbank Centre
26 April 2015, 14:00pm – 20:00pm – Admission Free
An afternoon exploring the emergence of London’s pirate radio during the 1980s and early 1990s.
We discuss the impact that DJs and stations had on their communities and broadcasting in general, considering a contemporary perspective and asking whether the pirate radio movement has left a lasting legacy. If so, how has it influenced today’s music scene?
Throughout the day, documentary footage and DJ sets from selectors who made their names on the illegal airwaves showcase the music from that magical period of self-expression and rebellion.
The running order is as follows:
2pm – 3pm – DJ set from Sarah HB (formerly of pirate radio stations LWR and Kiss FM)
3pm – 4pm – Interview with DJ Dave VJ and Lindsay Wesker, authors of Masters of the Airwaves which chronicles London’s pirate scene of the 1980s
4pm – 5pm – DJ set from Dave VJ (formerly of pirate radio stations Invicta, Solar, Kiss FM, as well as Choice FM and Mi-Soul)
5pm – 6pm – Interview with Gordon Mac, who transformed Kiss FM from a Charlton squat-based pirate to one of London’s leading licensed stations
6pm – 7pm – DJ set from Jasper the Vinyl Junkie (formerly of pirate radio stations LWR and Kiss FM, as well as Choice FM and Kane FM)
7pm – 8pm – DJ set from Jasper the Vinyl Junkie
2pm – 8pm
The Front Room at Queen Elizabeth Hall
