[Melita Dennett]

Morning all,

The Independent on Sunday has listed Kathy Caton, producer and presenter of RadioReverb's "Out in Brighton" as one of its 101 most influential people in its annual "Pink List", announced on 13.10.13.

Out in Brighton is only LGBT radio show on the city's airwaves, featuring a range of subjects from theatre to health.

Kathy Caton said, "I'm absolutely delighted to be named on the Pink List with such an amazing collection of people.  I've loved being able to use Out In Brighton to get LGBT voices and stories on air that you don't get to hear on mainstream media - I've met amazing activists, community workers, artists and musicians through doing the show - it's a privilege to help get those voices heard."

Melita Dennett, Director of RadioReverb said "I am pleased that Kathy has been acknowledged for her work in giving a voice to people marginalised by mainstream media, She's developed an engaging show which deals sensitively and intelligently  with subjects like living with HIV, LGBT arts and culture and stories from Trans people told in their own words."

Out in Brighton is broadcast every Wednesday 5-6pm on 97.2FM in Brighton & Hove and online at www.radioreverb.com.

2. The Independent on Sunday "Pink List" was first published in 2000, as a list of 50 influential people who were brave enough to be "out". This year they received more than 1,300 nominations and had to reduce thousands of potential contenders to just 101. The judges
decided that a Pink List contender can no longer simply be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender and famous. They need to make a difference.
