Mighty Radio from this December, has been granted additional power to allow for bigger coverage across the Southport coast and surrounding areas from the broadcasting regulator Ofcom.
Mighty Radio has been on 107.9 FM since 1stApril 2019 and the station has gained not just interest from local advertising, but also from national agencies. Mighty Radio has covered everything local during the pandemic and been helping support local businesses that have needed it, during the challenging times of the current pandemic.
Mid-Morning Presenter Cassie James said: “We have talked about the cycle lanes around the town, interviewed business owners, also helped support foodbanks, The Isla Rose Foundation Campaign, Change and Check, Mental Awareness and helped local shops and charities around the town.”
Managing Director Trevor Ford says: “Mighty Radio is a local station for Southport and it’s important that we give the listener local information for the community of Southport on Breakfast/Mids and Drive and breaking news as it happens.
“Having extra coverage means we can keep the listener, listening longer as they travel to and from work and will be able to listen outside the town of Southport, as they may travel to and from the town, towards: Preston/Blackpool/Wigan/Ormskirk/Liverpool.”
Managing Director Sean Connolly says: “Having the extra power increase for our Mighty Radio transmitter, it makes us sound that bit stronger in the surrounding areas in which we agreed within our original license.
“I’ve just done a ‘Gifts for Kids Toy Appeal’ and I have 100 presents making their way from Skelmersdale to Southport. This area in which Mighty can be heard and it’s important to make connections to the surrounding areas of Southport. We are nearly at 1000 presents, these will go to underprivileged local children in Southport this festive season. These children have been identified by our local food banks and schools.”
Station Manager Paul Tasker Says: “We want the listener to get local information on everything from charity and fundraising events, road closures, news headlines and even when Santa is coming to Southport. This is something you cannot get with other radio stations coming from London or Manchester.”
