The latest recruit to join the NCCR team is Steve Sutherland, editorial director of IPC Ignite and previously editor of NME from 1992 to 2000. Steve, who will be presenting a theme based show every Sunday, brings a wealth of knowledge about the history of modern music and the people who have made the music industry what it is.

With further delays to the refurbishment of our studios in Chipping Campden it is unlikely that our planned February launch will go-ahead. However, North Cotswold Community Radio will be broadcasting every weekend, bringing programmes of local interest as well as a diverse range of programming for young & old. We are keen to hear from any Media Studies students who wish to help prepare local news bulletins, organisations or individuals who want us to broadcast information about their project or from anyone who has anything of interest to say to our growing audience in the North Cotswolds.

NCCR’s Chairman, Robb Eden, says, “ It is particularly pleasing for me to announce Steve’s involvement with NCCR. His programme will be listened to by a huge number of listeners both within and outside our area and will therefore help to focus attention on the North Cotswolds at a time when the community needs to promote a positive outlook for the future”.
