Redstone FM
has been looking at a number of possibilities to broadcast a
permanent radio service in East Surrey. With very few opportunities
to broadcast on FM, Redstone FM will instead be one of the content
providers for the recently licensed Digital Audio Service for Surrey.

 |
The Surrey DAB
licence provides coverage throughout Surrey plus Crawley and parts of
SW London. However, whilst the transmission area is county-wide,
Redstone FM's core editorial area will be East Surrey (namely the
Boroughs of Reigate & Banstead and Epsom & Ewell plus the
Mole Valley and Tandridge Districts) and Crawley. |

The launch
event on the 22 September was attended by representatives from
funders, disability charities and local community groups. Redstone FM
Chairman, Steve Burge was pleased with the outcome, "After many
months of quietly putting our plans in place, we are delighted to
announce our plans to get Redstone FM back on the air."
Councillor
Julian Ellacott, who hosted the event said, "An active and
vibrant local radio station can make a huge contribution to local
communities, promoting local businesses, encouraging voluntary
activities, and providing news and entertainment. Although not
prime amongst its purposes, another important function of local media
is to promote democracy, by helping local residents hold those in
authority in the local area to account.
""I
do wish all who are involved in Redstone FM all the very best for
this project - through their past broadcasts they have established a
record of providing quality local radio, which deserves a more
permanent and wider audience."
