Manchester’s online community radio station launches a new show today dedicated to Forever Manchester.
Manchester’s online community radio station launches a new show today dedicated to Forever Manchester .
The Forever Manchester fundraising initiative, currently rolling out across social media and online, today started the first of its now twice weekly shows at ManchesterRadioOnline.com.
The radio slot carries the same ethos as the rest of the activity which aims to raise cash which will be spent to improve the lives of those in Greater Manchester.
So there’s no big name presenter and instead there will be guests, comedy, music and local entertainment – as one of the organisers told me this morning, the show’s schedule is “chosen by the people, for the people of Manchester”.
You can catch the programme from 2pm until 5pm tonight and then every Wednesday between 1 and 5pm plus Sunday’s from 1pm to 3pm.
Forever Manchester is currently also tweeting away on Twitter @4EVRManchester and plans are afoot for a whole lot more online activity next week – I’ll keep you posted here.

    It was a good show
    just one thing….
    Manchester radio online is not a community station, it’s independant. i listen to the station all the time and some of manchester’s radio legends are there now (james stannage, phil wood, phil beckett)
    i’d reccomend it to anyone

    @Simon I described it as a community station to give people an idea of the sort of activity it’s engaged in.This particular slot is intended to be community focused and the station describes itself as a service for the people of Manchester at a grassroots community level. On the website it says: “manchesterradioonline.com is about authenticity, quality, integrity, excitement, originality and the grass roots of Manchester.”
    Looks like its doing a pretty good job too!

    Thank you Sarah.
    ManchesterRadioOnline.com is an alternative radio station to the ‘burger’ stations*, and has a mission to provide genuine entertainment, online. We have professional broadcasters, we’re professionally managed, and we’re quite partisan about the fact that we’re Manchester owned, Manchester based and Manchester focused.
    We are thrilled to be a part of Forever Manchester

    It’s a great show, it’s a great station.
    A great tool for promoting Manchester across the world!
