About Radio Teesdale
It's Yours

A great day when the Upper Dale transmitter comes on line!Radio Teesdale plans to start full time broadcast broadcasting in 2007, having been granted a licence to broadcast as a community radio station. Radio Teesdale is a true Community project, and will provide a true Community service. It has been set up and will be operated by the people of Teesdale, for the people of Teesdale.

Our temporary broadcasting licence issued by Ofcom for two pilot periods allowed us to broadcast on a frequency of 107.2 FM utilising a 25 Watt transmitter signal. This is a normal power restriction for a temporary licence, but unfortunately this meant that our signal only reached a radius of 5 or 6 miles from Barnard Castle. This is somewhat disappointing to the TCB team, who obviously want to spread the benefit of community radio across the whole of Teesdale. If all goes according to plan and we move on as we hope towards a permanent community radio station, we will ensure that there is suitable boosting equipment to get the signal to as many people across Teesdale as possible.

Our listeners should remember that those of us on this side of the microphones and studio equipment are just the same as those of you at the other side of the radio receivers. That is to say, by and large, we live and work in Teesdale, and have simply volunteered to get involved in doing something of value to the benefit of the local Community. Remember.  We are not experienced broadcasters or presenters, but we will be doing our best. But that is the spirit of community radio isn’t it - we want to hear local people talking about local issues and interests, with local accents.

Our range of programmes will relate to life in Teesdale, and will touch most if not all areas of the Community. There should be something of interest to every listener. If you find that’s not the case, then please come along and join us to make or present a programme of your own. Don’t just sit there and moan about it!

Everyone is openly invited to contribute.

So come on listeners and fellow people of Teesdale, get behind us and make Radio Teesdale something to be proud of and an integral part of our local community and culture.

The opportunity has arrived . . . . . . .and its yours "
