Sending Love from The Flash!

104.3 FM from Waterlooville, and DAB to the Portsmouth & Gosport areas.www.theflashonair.co.uk

The whole Flash volunteer team would like to send you all our Love at this difficult time. Unfortunately only a handful of our presenters are able to produce fresh programmes for you at this time, although we are doing all we can to bring you as many live shows as possible.

All live shows (and some fresh recorded ones) are now being produced from each presenter’s home to maintain the ‘Stay At Home’ policy. Please bear with us as some gaffs are likely at times, and internet problems may cause off air periods as internet usage grows across the country.

We are working with Community First to bring you information and updates on the community support available in the Borough Of Havant and beyond, and we will also bring you regular updates from Havant Borough Council. Please spread the word about The Flash, especially to those who are isolated and may not use the internet or social media.

The Flash would like to thank all our listeners and supporters through what’s been a challenging yet rewarding year. With the coming of our award of FM licencing in the summer its been a real pleasure to be broadcasting from Waterlooville on 104.3FM . We haven’t forgotten our Local DAB+ listeners and our worldwide streaming collective from around the world either, without you we are nothing.

We would like to wish you a Happy new year and can’t wait to give you more of that REAL MUSIC in 2020

Thank you Jacqui from Asda Waterlooville!

I would like to say a huge thank you to Jacqui Benham, Community Champion at Asda Waterlooville for visiting today and presenting us with a cheque for £300.00 as top up funding following our Flashfest back in July.

Jacqui also came on air for a chat after the presentation pic was taken.

Thank you again Jacqui and The Asda Foundation. This money will go towards the running costs of our not for profit community radio station; The Flash – Where Real Music LIVEs.

GRAND TOTAL RAISED AT THE END OF ‘THE FLASH FUND FOR FM’ APPEAL – £4889.27

Thanks to your very generous support and kind donations we
not only achieved our goal but passed it by £889.27p.
Thank you so much for all the support you have given. We are
now broadcasting on 104.3FM and we could not have achieved
it without you. Every penny will go towards paying off the
remaining invoices for the installation and added overheads for
the FM service during the first month or so. Now the search is
on for local advertisers to help pay our FM costs from this point
forward.
