About Streatham SW Radio

Why Streatham SW Radio?

This is a united voice that aims to include and celebrate all the diverse communities in Streatham, providing the opportunity to learn about each other and share the common experiences of daily life in Streatham.

When will it broadcast?

The Radio Station will in the first instance primarily broadcast during Streatham Arts Festival that happens yearly during the July period but set to expand this in the latter part of 2007 and early 2008.

What will the station broadcast?

The main focus would be the development of the artistic merits and cultures of the various activities and events in Streatham which had not previously been recognised before and also to give the first stepping stone to artistic individuals and groups who would not other wise have been able to gain radio coverage previously.

The content will cover the following themes:

1. Local current affairs and vox-pops
2. Local entertainment including links with the Streatham Festival, its artists, performers and events. plus information on the surrounding areas
3. Children & Young People’s programmes – links with schools, youth organisations
4. Community / cultural programmes – links with community organisations and cultural groups
5. History and environment – links with Streatham clubs and societies and residents

Everyone can get involved!

In addition it also has a dual role in to make the wider public and communities be more aware of what the area, but also developing new skills and broadcasting training for interested parties who would be keen to gain experience within the field of live radio broadcasting.

Ambitions

The vision is that Streatham SW Radio is to become an advocate for the town; celebrating the spirit of its people and offers inspiration for future transmissions. The radio station will interact with the community through a team of volunteers who will learn how to produce and record their own shows and broadcast them to the people of Streatham.
