BRISTOL RADIO STATION RE-OPENS STUDIO AFTER DEVASTATING FIRE

Bcfm Radio have chosen Bob Marley’s Birthday to re-open their main studio following a devastating fire in August this year. The community radio station that has been described as an “integral part of Bristol” has struggled to provide a full live service since the tragedy disrupted the award-winning broadcaster in the Summer.

We are devastated to announce our studio and most of our broadcast equipment at Easton Community Centre has been destroyed. The fire broke out during a live broadcast of our Silversound Show at approx 11am this morning - thankfully neither our presenter Tony nor anyone else in the building was injured.

Bristol Community FM (BCFM) wishes to appoint a Creative Producer who is passionate about heritage and community radio, and keen to make a difference for underrepresented groups and communities in Bristol.

You will be a confident ambassador for the organisation, responsible for the end-to-end delivery of heritage related content for radio and digital platforms. You will need to use your networks, initiative, creativity and proven project management and technical skills, to ensure the success of our ambitious plans for high quality and ethically driven community radio.
