A presenter is encouraging Croxley residents to “come on, come on turn the radio on” as a new community radio station hits the waves.
Always fascinated by radio, Alex’s “expensive hobby” was born out of listening to Bruno Brookes’ Top 40 and later the Breakfast Show with Chris Tarrant.
Alex learned his craft at what was then Watford Hospital Radio, creating shows for patients to enjoy.
Launching AJK Radio online at 8am on Christmas Day 2015, Alex wanted to share his love of music by providing a platform for local music fanatics to hear an eclectic mix of songs.
Now, the station is at the dawn of a new era as on Saturday, March 1, it entered car frequencies in the wider South Hertfordshire area.
Alex, together with the team of volunteers and former hospital radio presenters, is looking for local businesses to sponsor shows to help the station on this journey.
They are also looking for keen people from the area who want to get involved in creating and presenting their own shows.
Speaking to CROXLEYnews, Alex said: “It’s exciting but daunting because it is an expensive cost to cover. Sponsorship from our supporters, the ‘In Crowd’ as we call them, has made the start of the journey possible.
“The core of the station is official charts from the last 70 years. We also have a range of special shows. We play the music we think is missing from the community radios and are hoping that the more people who listen and give support to the station, the more we can evolve.”
