Preston FM Supports International Women’s Day with special day of programmes
 Preston’s Community Radio Station, Preston FM, is suspending it’s usual
broadcast schedule to bring Preston and beyond 14 hours of programmes dedicated
to International Women’s Day this *Monday 8th March 2010 from 8am*. Male and
Female presenters join hands to help you learn more about the issues and
stories affecting women here in the UK and around the world.

You can listen in Preston and the surrounding area on 103.2fm, and around
the world online at *www.preston.fm* and click the “listen live” link.  And
if you miss any of the programmes, we’ll be podcasting as many of them as
possible on our website.

The day will include a special edition of our Chat City Morning programme,
as well as discussions, debates, documentaries and even dramas. Some
packages will be borrowed from other community radio stations around the
world - but most are being made by Preston FM volunteers.

The theme for the day will be reflected in everything - the interviews, the
features, the vox pops, the music, the content from around the world.
Preston FM’s music team have scoured the archives to find appropriate and
relevant music for the day.

Our International Women’s Day coverage is part of Preston FM's "Preston &
Beyond" project, funded by DFID's Development Awareness Fund, which is
helping local people gain a better understanding of the UN Millennium
Development Goals and other International Development topics.
