Philosophy
We believe the younger generation of the community have a wealth of talent that needs direction and nurturing. Via radio training, we intend to develop the abundance of untapped talent in the field of music deployment and radio outplay. We believe Vision Radio will provide a platform to showcase unsigned talent, up and coming Dj’s and music producers, programme producers and more. We strongly believe everybody has talent, with a little direction and some encouragement anything is possible.
Mission Statement
We aim to deliver high quality radio broadcast service that reflects the diverse needs and aspiration of local residents living in and adjacent to LB Hammersmith and Fulham to encourage:
1. Better communication and understanding of local communities through the production and broadcasting of a range of cultural, entertainment and education programmes
2. Young people to actively pursue a career in radio programming, broadcasting, presenting, production and journalism
Serving the Community
Vision Radio will broadcast across the Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, informing, entertaining and providing a forum for residents to express and share their views.
Initially Vision Radio will broadcast for 4 hours a day between the hours of 9am till 10pm (the precise timetable has yet to be confirmed). The hours will be extended after the initial trial period with a view to broadcasting 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Residents
We intend to have a wide range of shows and programmes reflecting the different tastes and diversities of the communities that exist in Hammersmith and Fulham. The shows will fall into a number of different categories such as:
• Social / local affairs, which will include presenters talking with council officials, police officers, civil servants from Job Centre Plus, and legal advisers, in addition to hosting live phone debates.
• Light entertainment, which will feature shows like poetry, book readings and reviews, live theatre on air.
• Music - DJs will be encouraged to play music from all backgrounds, including contemporary music from all music genres such as world music, reggae, rap (hip-hop), classic, country. However, the main station emphasis is world music – sourced globally and with special reference to the diverse nationalities that make up the Borough. Opportunities will also be given to upcoming new unsigned local talent.
• Information –local weather, news, gigs and events guide.
