The photo on the left shows inaugural DJ Mike Blair playing the first tracks on-air alongside station manager Iain Donald. The first day’s broadcasting started after what had been a long and carefully planned build up, designed to ensure that everything went well with the new station.
We hope that the information available here gives you a good idea of what we’ve been up to since being awarded our licence in 2007, what we will be doing in the near future and how you can get involved in helping us to deliver your community radio station.
Bute FM is devoted to the people of Bute, broadcasting a diverse mix of musical styles for people of all ages, whilst providing important community information such as the weather, ferry crossings and road conditions. Arts and entertainment events, community group information and general items of local social and political interest will be on the menu also.It is our intention that by broadcasting specific programme strands, weekly debates and weekly topical studio guest interviews this will enable the station to cover relevant news and grass-roots culture & heritage issues in great depth, and facilitate discussion and expression of opinion in our community.
Additionally, regular specialist music shows and discussion forum shows will encourage contributions from people who want to share their interests and opinions with our community, via an exciting new medium. Regular feedback from you – our community – will be welcomed, in order to enable us to tailor the service to your requirements and fill any gaps in our provision, thereby creating a successful interactive social inclusion project for everyone in the community to embrace.
Currently we are operating a weekly lottery that, with a healthy support from the community, will help us to fund your community radio station. The more people that play each week, the sooner Bute FM can begin to fulfil its many social gain objectives!
