In September 2017, Harvest Moon Radio took its first steps as a humble internet radio station. Though small in size, our vision has always been grand – and now we aim to introduce a weekly programme that caters to our local community. Your local voice matters to us, and we are eager to hear your thoughts on how we can collaborate and make this happen together. We would love you to join us as we embark on this exciting journey!

Why have a Local Radio Station

We are very small station but growing, everyone is a volunteer giving there time up for free and for the fun. We have listeners locally, in the UK and all around the world. We intend to start a weekly show just for the local area in the next few months so it’s time to reach out and see what interest and help is out there. From simply presenting a radio show to all the work involved in running one we would like to see more local people involved. Our plans for the show include producing a weekly radio/podcast style show to promote our great local area, involving local businesses, clubs, events, venue, organisations, charities – the list goes on.

So it’s time to reach out and see what interest and help is out there . There are so many reasons why having a local radio station in your area can be good for the area.

Here are some of them.
