LOCa L HisTOry On KTCRfM
from Keynsham News autumn
by Tina Veater
KTCRfm revisited two important aspects of Keynsham’s local history with daily updates on the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685, ending on 8th July, and the Great Flood of 1968, ending on the 10th July.
There are two hour-long programmes on both of these historic events with their crucial links to Keynsham on KTCR’s Archive at www.ktcrfm. com. They can be accessed and listened to at any time, if you missed, or wish to hear again, the original radio broadcasts. The archive also holds an hour-long documentary on the life of Horace Batchelor, compiled and presented by KTCRfm’s Mike Corrigan.
Over 30 people in the area are involved in making weekly programmes on KTCRfm, and in three and half years hardly a programme has been missed. That is a pretty amazing record of success, but there is always room for more.
KTCRfm offers excellent opportunities to be involved in radio production and management, broadcasting itself, and developing IT skills and self-confidence.
