Stockbridge is going Radio

As the countdown begins to a new community radio station launch, we explore what that will mean for Stockbridge and the nearby, surrounding villages.

It’s not every day a new radio station begins to broadcast, however Edinburgh is on the cusp of having a new, Stockbridge-based community radio station in the heart of this Bohemian village. Edinburgh’s Mix1Radio will serve it’s listeners with entertainment and local information. Radio Gaga!

Fortunately Stockbridge, Comely Bank and other neighbouring villages have a fabulous community spirit. You only have to walk along Stockbridge main street to find that out. So, with the community in mind local broadcaster, musician and designer Sam Hinks decided the time was right to start a station.

“Experience is very important in the radio industry, although enthusiasm and ability to learn are just as important. We want to attract the best people to entertain and inform the local communities as well as align ourselves firmly with the individuals, businesses and organisations that make up the surrounding area.”

Mix1Radio’s most important job is to engage with its listeners and be involved as much as possible with the communities. To that end they have set up a basement studio in the heart of Stockbridge, with a meeting area and admin facilities for the station to grow.

The station also hope that events and training will be a part of its community role. So, if you feel you want to be involved with radio, get in touch with Mix1Radio.They are an all encompassing company that will welcome you with open arms.

Look for the station to start broadcasting as an internet station (with local Edinburgh city DAB to come soon) later in the month.
