History For over ten years Radio Hartlepool’s Managing Director and Project Coordinator Jason Anderson has worked towards the goal of a Local Radio Station for Hartlepool. Since 1995 Jason has worked and studied Local Radio, visiting and meeting Radio Management teams from all around the country, attending broadcast and media fairs both nationally and internationally, in an effort to bring Local Radio to Hartlepool.
“All through the development of my project, I believed that a Hartlepool Radio Station must be ultimately ran and managed by the people of Hartlepool.”
Jason and his broadcasting team completed the last of three 28-day trial broadcasts on FM in December 2004, which led to the submission to Ofcom for a full time Community Radio Broadcasting Licence.
Team The team of managers, staff and volunteers Jason has brought together are local to the town and committed to the principles of Community Radio, and excited by the opportunities it brings.
Where we are coming from We continue to broadcast from the Grand Hotel in the heart of the town. Radio Hartlepool ’s state of the art studios are comparable to any commercial competitors.
Accountability We are fully accessible and accountable to the people of Hartlepool. We are open to any group or individual, given appropriate notice, to visit our studios and to meet a member of our team. The website you are reading intends to grow as a Community resource for information and comment.
Directors Jason has brought together a unique group of business and Community leaders to act as Community Directors, Sir Ron Norman OBE, Geoff Hainsworth Dip Ed (Retired School Master & Round the World Yachtsman), Keith Thomas (Respected Charity & Media Accountant), James Anderson (Retired Architect & Radio Engineer), Joe Metcalf (Local Businessman), Louise Anderson (Radio Industry), Danesh Kholi (Local Businessman) and Russell Hart (JP & Retired Council Leader). Each of these noted individuals share Jason’s enthusiasm for the Community Radio Project.
