When It Matters, We're On
Station promo, news-talk storm coverage · Adult (40-55) · Neutral American · 60 seconds
[Music: low, steady pulse]
Last spring, the sirens went off at two in the morning.
The power was out across half of Velden County. Phones were dying. Trees were down across Route Nine.
And on a battery radio in a lot of basements, a voice said, 'We're here. Here's what we know.'
[beat]
Our news team stayed on the air for nineteen hours straight. Live updates from the sheriff's office. Shelter locations. A caller who needed help getting his mother out, and three neighbors who heard it and went.
That's what local radio is for.
Not a national feed. Not a robot reading headlines from a thousand miles away. People who live here, covering the place we all call home.
[music lifts slightly]
When it matters most, we're on.
NewsTalk eight-ten, KXVD. Velden Falls' news and weather station.
Harbourside FM Is Yours
Station promo, UK community radio · Adult (30-45) · Neutral British · 60 seconds
[Music: light acoustic bed]
Harbourside FM broadcasts from a little studio above Penny's Bakery on Quay Street.
Which explains why our breakfast presenter is always in a good mood. And always covered in flour.
We're on air twenty-four hours a day, and almost all of it is run by volunteers. The lad who reads the shipping news is a retired ferry captain. Our Sunday jazz show is presented by a dental nurse. The Tuesday quiz is set by a woman called Doreen, and nobody has ever beaten her.
We cover the school fêtes, the council meetings, the lifeboat launches and the football results nobody else bothers with.
Because this is your station. It always has been.
[beat]
And if you've ever fancied having a go yourself, we're always looking for new voices. Pop in, say hello, have a pastry.
Harbourside FM, one-oh-six-point-two. Your town, on air.

You know who you are.
Your host is Angelique Moore, and she'll keep you company through the late shift, the long drive home and the nights you just can't sleep.
So dim the lights, pour something nice, and stay a while.
