Join Cat & Chris and the Up & Out breakfast team for a big, gay, 
caffeine fuelled, sleep deprivation experiment.

50 Hours!! That's 3000 minutes - equivalent to 180,000 seconds of unique 
broadcasting. Now that's what you call a BIG Breakfast!

It's jelly and ice-cream, party poppers, and cake – plus: Guest DJs, 
Celebrity Interviews, the 'Reverb All Stars' – your favourite Reverb DJs 
& Presenters & alternative party games including; "Pin the Tail On The 
Drag Queen!"

The party continues into the night with live, outside broadcasts from 
top Brighton venues.

2. RadioReverb is Brighton's first and only community radio station. 
Awarded a community radio license in 2005, the station has been 
broadcasting 24/7 for just shy of a year. RadioReverb's remit is to 
create social gains for the people of Brighton and Hove and to broaden 
listener choice.

As one of the first tranche of license awardees, RadioReverb is a 
flagship operation as a station which is fully functioning, doesn't have 
pre-recorded adverts and with a schedule so incredibly diverse that it 
truly reflects the community that it serves.

This diversity is reflected through a mixed format which includes both 
speech-based programmes and specialist music shows. This includes a show 
about parenting, art, science, French and German, as well as folk, 
country, sound art and a purely Brighton music show. For more 
information see http://www.radioreverb.com.

With just a small core staff team, all of RadioReverb's programming is 
locally generated by volunteer programme-makers with individual 
specialities, making the station truly "for the community by the community".
