I Know We’re Only Volunteers but We Like It
Written by LBRadio on 4th April 2024
Leighton Buzz Radio was launched at the Leighton Buzzard May Day Fair in 2019.
Since 2019 our station and the rest of the world went through many changes. We are proud of the shows we produced to entertain children during lockdown, jumping on the mics to cover the LB earthquake (even before the bigger stations and news channels) and many other local and national events.
Who We Are
We are a local station, run by local people and ALL of us are volunteers, no-one here is paid and just to be clear no-one claims any expenses or costs either. Nothing, nada, not a penny.
We are also proud that most of our volunteers have come to us with little or no experience in radio and they receive our free training to get broadcasting. The training is on industry leading software so it adds real value to a CV.
Keeping Going – The Money Stuff
We have a very few advertisers and sponsor supporters that have kept our station going (see our sponsors and advertisers) we love them for their amazing continued contribution.
We also have our radio lottery with the opportunity to win £25,000 you can sign up here
Leighton Buzz Radio needs more support to keep delivering what we do but also to take the station to the next level of broadcasting; DAB. With DAB we will be able to reach more local people, be more accessible in the car and at home and support the town by spreading it’s great news further and wider.
- Please join our lottery – to borrow a phrase you need to be in it to win it and your odds are far better than other lotteries. It costs a £1 a week to enter.
- If you are business you can advertise for as little as £25 per month contact studio@leightonbuzzradio.co.uk
