Maritime Radio holds birthday marathon broadcast

Maritime Radio is marking its second birthday on 20th April by holding a 25 hour radio show.

Starting at 11pm on Monday 19th, the non-stop broadcast will see all the Maritime crew taking part in presenting right through until midnight the following night.

The station says there will be prizes to be won, as well as some surprise outside broadcasts throughout.

Duncan Martin, Maritime Radio’s Managing Director, said: “Two years have flown by! We’re so proud of what we have been able to achieve, bringing real local radio to thousands of listeners in Greenwich and across south east London and north west Kent.

“I hope everyone will tune in to listen to what is going to be a brilliant celebration of our second birthday.

“The Maritime crew live locally and all work really hard to broadcast our programmes and local news from Shooters Hill to the places and people we know. This last year has been very testing, as it has for everyone, but we were able to keep broadcasting and providing local news and information to our 30,000+ listeners throughout, from home, and from the studios.

“We hope to welcome even more listeners to the station as a result of this celebration.”

Maritime Radio is a local radio station for Greenwich, south east London and north west Kent on 96.5FM.
