MP Clocks Off with RedShift Radio


Edward Timpson, MP for Crewe and Nantwich, continues to show his support of local broadcasters RedShift Radio.

The station is enjoying its second 28-day test licence on 87.7FM this year and can be heard across Crewe, Nantwich, Sandbach and Alsager until 18 December.

Mr Timpson made time at the end of a busy week to be a guest on Clocking Off, the station's popular drive time show hosted by Dr Gav.

Following his visit, Mr Timpson said: “RedShift is a perfect example of a community dream being realised through the dedicated work of local volunteers. Local radio is very important to people throughout the United Kingdom and here in Crewe and Nantwich RedShift’s success has demonstrated the role that radio can play.”

The RedShift Radio team is made up of over 50 volunteer presenters and a small handful of paid office staff. The predominately online radio station has been running at least 14 hours of live output per day since September 2010 and it is the aim of the station founders Dr Gav and Bizzy Lizzy to bring Crewe and surrounding towns a full-time local community radio station.

Bizzy Lizzy said: “We urge everyone, whatever age you are, to please have a listen while we are on 87.7FM and let us know what you think and more importantly, exactly what you would like to hear on your local station.
