What is Brooklands FM?
Brooklands FM is built around music from the last 40 or so years, with local news, features, sport and advertising for local firms. Behind the station is a small team of professionals with backgrounds in radio and other media, the same people who brought you Brooklands FM in 2007. To see what we achieved, watch our YouTube video below.
Exciting venture
Alan Timbrell, who is heading the station, says: 'When we’re back with a full-time community licence we'll be heard in Addlestone, Brooklands, Byfleet, Chertsey, Shepperton, Staines, Walton and Weybridge. It's an exciting venture because we're a radio station aimed just at our local area.
'During last year’s broadcast many people from local organisations and voluntary groups or just with something interesting to talk about were interviewed on-air. Many local people presented their own programmes. Local businesses were able to target radio advertising directly at potential customers in their catchment area at affordable rates.
