Radio professionals offer support for small-scale DAB projects

A new membership-based organisation has launched to support the growing number of community and independent commercial radio stations on small-scale DAB around the UK.

Local Radio Support is run by three radio professionals John Dash, Phil England and Dominic Barker.

John has held Programme Director roles at Radio Clyde and Piccadilly Radio and worked at many more.

Phil has worked in radio since 1980 and has managed stations and projects for all of the UK’s largest radio groups: Global, Bauer, Nation and TWG. In addition, he’s launched a number of radio stations and provided training services.

Dominic has led local, regional and national sales teams for Capital Radio, Classic FM and LBC, whilst building powerful partnerships with some well known consumer brands.

John tells RadioToday: “Many small stations are operating on tight budgets. Local Radio Support gives them the opportunity to access more of the services they need at minimal cost, alongside guidance from a team of seasoned radio professionals.”

The team is offering support across all aspects of the radio business including programming, marketing, sales, station management, licence applications, compliance, legal, HR, social media, technical and transmission, grant applications and research.
