Miskin Radio has been broadcasting via the internet since April 2012. We also broadcast on the FM waveband across Gravesend and Dartford during the Summer 2012 Olympic Games. During this time we assisted Kent Police with relaying traffic bulletins and breaking news during the games, which also gave local residents’ prior knowledge of any road closures or changing circumstances that affected them.
We will continue to broadcast via the web until we have successfully secured a full-time radio license from Ofcom’s next community radio round, due in 2013/2014, if successful we will be bring local radio back to the North West Kent area which is lacking within the media currently.
Before going ‘live’ full training is provided to all volunteers by industry professionals, ensuring the knowledge, skills and techniques used within the radio industry are passed on to them.
We use industry standard professional equipment to make sure that not only do we deliver a fun ‘real’ environment, but also all the team gain skills that could help them achieve employment within the radio or wider media industry.
Being the only dedicated radio station for the Dartford and Gravesham areas, which will be a hub of activity,
Within our programming we will also provide voluntary and community agencies free interview spots so they can promote the work that they undertake across our community, helping them to raise their profile and increase their awareness and support.
