Galashiels Community Radio - TD1 Radio
We will establish and develop a community owned and community led local radio project, which will not be for individual financial or commercial gain, but dedicated to serving the community as a communication tool.
The radio station will be a controlled and managed local station with community programming reflecting the town’s unique blend of community interests, cultural and linguistic diversity.
It will deliver social gains and develop social capital through radio provision and training in radio skills for all community members, especially youth and socially excluded individuals.
The access station will be rooted in the local community and accessible to all local people providing unique and appropriate local focused educational and entertainment programming.
Quality training opportunities will be provided for local people to make and broadcast their own programmes that will meet the needs of their local groups within the community – using community radio as a means of empowerment and personal development. It’s about radio of the community, for the community, by the community as well as education, entertainment, and empowerment.
It will provide a community communication platform accessible to all groups and individuals who have the democratic benefit of the community at heart. This community radio station will be created and run without distinction of race, creed, caste, disability, colour, sexual orientation or age, but will seek to achieve and maintain the highest principals of democratic and moral broadcast standards.
