The 2024 edition of Local Radio Day focussed on building bridges, and this year, the Radio Harrow team did just that with a day of live broadcasting to mark the occasion.
The day began with a special edition of the breakfast show, hosted by David Reece.
Shrey Puranik then broadcast a mid-morning show, Local Shreydio Day, during which Andrew Bottcher caught up with the organisers of Northolt’s Haunted House.
At midday, a Local Radio Day Team Show special aired, with live interviews with Sharon from Mums For Lungs, and Julian Lloyd, CEO of the regional branch of Age UK.
There was live coverage on social media throughout with Radio Harrow volunteers and members of the community alike sharing what local radio meant to them. We’ve included the videos from our official Instagram page below.
Friday 8th November marks Local Radio Day 2024, and Radio Harrow will be presenting a series of special shows to mark the occasion.
From the official Local Radio Day website:
This year the theme is Building Bridges. Radio is a powerful medium with the ability to bring people together. It connects its listeners to local news, events and acts as a platform for community groups.
You can listen to Radio Harrow anywhere in the world via our website. Just click the “Listen Live” button at the top of the page. You can also find us on the TuneIn mobile app, and if you have a smart speaker, you can tell it to ‘Play Radio Harrow’.
