By local people, for local people….
and for everyone to enjoy…
This
is
a
local
internet
radio
service
for
Feckenham
in
North
Worcestershire.
Our
aim
is
to
provide
a
locally
produced
radio
service
to
encourage
a
sense
of
community
in
the
village
of
Feckenham
and
in
the
surrounding
area.
Swansbrook
also
aims
to
accumulate
and
curate
a
library
of
audio
recordings
to
form
a
historical
record
for
future generations. The station is entirely voluntarily run and, to date, is entirely self funded.
Swansbrook began broadcasting
in July 2016….
A
team
of
experienced
broadcasters
had
previously
experimented
with
a
couple
of
week
long
FM
radio
stations
under
the
name
of
WAKE
FM.
These
broadcasts
were
popular
and
it
was
felt
worthwhile
to
explore
a
more
substantial
offering.
Costs
for
further
FM
broadcasts
were
found
to
be
prohibitive
and,
after
a
great
deal
of
research,
it
was
decided
to
try
to
establish
a
continuing
service
over
the
internet.
Swansbrook
went
on
air
with
a
2
hour “as live” outside broadcast from Feckenham’s annual fair, The Wake.

Current Service
The
service
now
operating
is
limited
only
by
the
availability
of
personnel.
There
is
a
four
hour
“rotation”
of
programmes
playing
continuously
24
hours
a
day
and
this
is
refreshed
as
and
when
new
programmes
become
available.
Listeners
can
sign
up
to
an
update
service
to
be
informed
by

service.
In
addition
many
programmes
are
now
available

“on
demand”
or
download
for
listening
when
required.
It
is
this service which will form the backbone of the historical archive planned by the station.

a cooperative committee which agrees on aims, membership and content.
The
Founders
are
Stuart
Knowles,
Paul
Furey,
Ian

Swansbrook
is
very
young
-
and
very
small.
We’d
love
to
grow
into
a
big
strong
community
radio
station
serving
the
whole
of
North
Worcestershire
but
we
can’t
do
it
without
help…
and
that’s
where
you
come
in.
If
you
fancy
yourself
as
a
reporter,
a
presenter,
a
writer
or
an
organiser…
in
fact
if
you’d
like
to
help
in
any
way
at
all…
we’d
love
to
hear
from
you.
Just
send
us
an
e-mail

we’ll
get
straight
back
to
you.
