Royston Radio is a community-based project, thus in addition to providing a service to the community, we also depend on community support to maintain the service is open to all.

With over 90% of nearby residents utilising mobile devices or smart speakers, we determined that staying off FM or DAB would significantly reduce overhead costs for what would otherwise be an unnecessary expense.

This will keep our services available to a large number of listeners, while eliminating costs like these, is possible by utilising online resources and being a leader in community broadcasting in this field, much like how many larger media companies are attempting to put their online services in front of their terrestrial services.

Of course, even with significant savings like this, there are still a lot of expenses associated with radio broadcasting, but money may be obtained to sustain the station much more easily, with less stress or chance of closure, and to always be available for the community.

With your help, Royston Radio can provide opportunities such as training, local news, support for local charities and projects, a platform for residents to share their skills and interests, access to hear live events, and much more.

Royston Radio pledges to be a station for the community, by the community.
