[cma-l] Fwd: The Hub Community Radio Station to Continue Brodcasting

[CMA-L]

*Press release*

*Directors confirm The Hub will stay on air, with newly appointed
management and outside investment.*

After last week’s disappointing news that The Hub community radio station
would be closing down and switching off its transmitters, we are extremely
pleased to announce the station will now continue to broadcast for the
foreseeable future.

Last week’s public announcement prompted an influx of offers of support,
from a variety of groups and individuals, both locally and nationally.
After a rollercoaster of a week, today we can confirm the station will be
staying on air thanks to outside investment and some fresh faces joining
the team.

After a difficult 18 months, new directors, including industry specialists,
will be appointed to the board to manage the company. The station will
continue to run with its regular, dedicated volunteers, with programming
and local output remaining the same.

Today’s announcement has been greatly welcomed by volunteers and the wider
community alike, who have been working tirelessly to keep the station on
air and broadcasting across Mid Cornwall. Station Manager Pete Appleyard
said “I’m so happy to be able to announce that we’ll be staying on air for
the foreseeable future. With this new investment and appointments to the
board, we’re all feeling reinvigorated and looking forward to an exciting
future for The Hub.

“We’re a community radio station, run completely by volunteers and although
we’re making this announcement, we always need help and support – both
financial and in terms of volunteers. If you’re a good communicator and
have a passion for music and the local community, we’d love to hear from
you.

“Keep an eye out for us over the summer across Cornwall as we’ll be out and
about and are available to attend your event and provide PA services – we
could even provide an outside broadcast. And of course, listen out on 106.1
and 106.4 FM. You can also now tune in to The Hub wherever you are, through
the Tunein app on your mobile phone.”
