TMCR 87.9FM
Thorne & Moorends Community Radio

 

We aimed to present many different types of programme on the station. It was identified that some people would like a Classical music show, others would like to hear interviews with local community groups. There are many other styles of show we could have put on the air, if you would like to suggest something for the future then get in touch and we'll see what we can do.

These are just some of the shows we put out in Summer 2005

Daily 2200-0700 TMCR's Night Music show.

Monday To Friday, between 10am and 1pm, we featured interviews with local groups and organisations. We tried to bring lots of information to our area, letting our community know what is going on - rather than wait until events have taken place.

The station was on air 24 hours a day, with 'live' presenters as much as possible. Through the night we carried an automated programme from our own computer system. Use of such systems is normal throughout the radio industry, at many stations people cannot tell that the programme is not live!

We aimed to have live presenters in our studio between 7am and 10pm daily, through the night a computer driven system provided a mix of music to keep the insomniacs and night workers happy, hosted by Gordon Sharpe.

We brought you interviews with community groups and service providers operating on our area, giving you the information about what was available and how to get in touch.

Requests
When we come back on air we will be happy to give out messages on air for birthdays and so on, but cannot guarantee that we will have a given song in our music library. Although we've over 14,000 tracks available we can't have every single track that's ever been out. But, we will try if we can - give us a few days notice if possible and we will do our best. Email

Thorne Festival
We were at the Thorne Festival on July 30th and 31st 2005.
We had an outside broadcast unit which was able to broadcast directly from the event, through our main studio. Come rain or shine, we relayed some of the atmosphere of the day to listeners who could not be there.
