Brighton’s first community radio station, RadioReverb 97.2FM, celebrates its 18th birthday this March.
The award-winning station won its 97.2FM licence on 26th March 2007 and now broadcasts across the city of Brighton & Hove and further afield in Sussex.
Its output is an eclectic mix of spoken word and music, reflecting the diverse, inclusive community of Brighton & Hove. Topics covered on-air include LGBTQ+, what’s on, local and national politics, learning disabled led content, football, food and drink, local festivals – and far more besides. The music output features new, local, upcoming bands, and music from all genres.
Irreverent, witty, fun, and sometimes just plain naughty, RadioReverb has endured and thrived over the past 18 years thanks to its presenters, all of whom are volunteers broadcasting for the love of radio.
The anniversary will be marked by the station’s annual fundraising event – THE REVERBATHON – which helps keep the station running. Broadcasting live from the Hope & Ruin on Sunday 13th April noon- late.
Each hour a different presenter will take to the airwaves with a special edition of their unique show. Other presenters, guests and musicians will be dropping in for short sessions, creating a one-off radio event for a unique celebration of what makes Brighton & Hove the great place it is.
Pop down to join us, have a beer, have some food and say hello! Info: www.radioreverb.com
