[cma-l] Women Take Over the Airwaves on Radio Verulam

[Canalside's The Thread]

I love quirky little Radio things like this. Well done Verulum.

 

Just wondering what the general percentage sway is at our Stations ????        when we first started, for the first 5 or 6 years we had 60% ladies and 40% gents    (a bit bizarre I know in a slightly more male type Industry)    unfortunately over the years it has gone the other way to the extent that we are now currently 70% to 30%        just before anyone gets worried, it is basically due to circumstances / work commitments etc etc. Trish (our reggae lady is flying at the moment though)     she is a big star in Barbados, Jamaica, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast and Haiti

One Community in Sierra Leone are wearing our Badges and Dippy Mascots …. We’re talking here 1000’s not hundreds

 

Top stuff                        Viva la Community Radio, onwards and upwards            to infinity and beyond

 

I’m sure we’d all do a lot better if all the Government dole outs were shared equally and fairly

Women take over airwaves

 

Radio Verulam's women presenters are taking over the station all day on Wednesday 8 March 2017 to celebrate International Women's Day. Between the hours of 6am and 10pm, all

The day of programmes has been organised by Radio Verulam presenter Rosie MacLeod who said, ‘I’ve loved overseeing the content for the day. Tune in and let us show you just

how well women can perform in an industry in which we are so often overlooked.’
