[cma-l] BCfm goes Gay for the day

[Phil Gibbons]

Good points Nick.

We have a great LGBT show on BCfm which is taking over the station for the day tomorrow. Over two thousand podcasts per show – imagine if that was National or networked?

I think this could lead to a network of shows rather than a National station. We would be willing to talk with any show specially for the Gay/LGBT community. Many of the issues are national and covering them as a group would be great. We could do an ideas share, cross broadcasting etc!

Anyone got any ideas?

Phil

Dear All

 

I think there would be an opportunity for a greater impact for the Gay community in this Country if some of the stations shared programming. How many independent gay stations do we have now in the fraternity ?   I know of 3, but there could be more ……………. I reckon it is an opportunity to go ‘national’    with the green light from Ofcom of course.

 

Just a thought

 

Regards

 

Nick

Another first for Bristol and BCfm 93.2fm.......

 

A Shout Out to the Gay Community – on Bristol’s Community radio station – BCfm 93.2fm 

Sat 9th July - ShoutOut BreakOut – on BCFM 93.2 and sponsored by Unite the Union 

 

This Saturday, the beginning of Bristol Pride week, BCfm 93.2’s ShoutOut show will be taking to the airwaves for a whole day of broadcasting aimed at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community and their friends. 

 

The day will be a mixture of music, guests and chat both serious and not so serious! It will run from 10am – midnight on BCfm 93.2fm the community station for Bristol where all the shows are made by volunteers. On an average week you will hear about 45 different programmes being broadcast on the station by many different types of people who represent an area, age, religion, language, agency or just themselves! BCfm broadcasts in about nine different languages and aims to represent the whole of Bristol and Bristol life.

 

This Saturday is special because for the first time BCfm is devoting a whole day to the LGBT community. The ShoutOut show has been broadcasting on BCfm since June last year, starting in a half hour lunchtime slot and growing to an hour long show which now broadcasts every Thursday at 7pm. ShoutOut has built up a loyal listenership and recently broke the record for the most downloaded show on the stations website ever – over two thousand downloads for a one hour show!

You can listen to BCfm within Bristol on 93.2fm and also from anywhere with an internet connection at bcfm.org.uk.




This day has been made possible with sponsorship from Unite the Union
