Welcome to the December edition of our newsletter.
Another eventful month here at White Beach Radio.
We are now available on your ‘smart speaker’. All you have to do is say, “open my tuner” and at the prompt say, “play White Beach Radio Lanzarote”.
We have also added a ‘Listener Reviews’ page to our website. Feel free to leave a comment, good, bad or ugly as your contributions will be more than welcome.
Our Saturday shows will recommence on Saturday the 18th of December and we are ‘LIVE’ here on Christmas Day to help you celebrate our very first festive season online.
Tune in and ask for your favourite track as we share Christmas with you.
We thank you for your support and wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a safe a happy New Year.
White Beach Radio – Newsletter 01-11-21
Welcome to the November edition of our newsletter.
Another eventful month here at White Beach Radio. Geoff, Julie and Hector arrived safely after their overland trek and the PDC studio was up and running in no time.
Our weekday programmes continue to attract our regular listeners and newcomers make themselves known by requesting tracks via our Facebook and online chat service by clicking the chat bubble on our website. We thank you for your support.
Our success is unfortunately also our downfall in as much as we are stretching ourselves by presenting our weekday shows and then going on to do the Saturday slots. With this in mind we have decided to suspend our Saturday shows until nearer Christmas. This will allow us to concentrate on the ongoing improvements we are implementing and widen our search for new talent to join our team and continue our successful growth.
Tom Kelly’s ‘Hot and Spicy’ show on Sunday lunchtime will of course continue.
That’s about it for this month, stay safe and continue to listen in and request your favourite tracks and maybe even consider joining us to present your very own show.
Don’t forget that you can contact us at anytime using the details on the whitebeachradio.online ‘contact’ page.
White Beach Radio – Newsletter 01-10-21
Welcome to the October edition of our newsletter.
Well, a lot is happening here, with the departure of Steve Youngs due to seasonal work commitments until the new year, Geoff Buck, along with Julie and Hector setting off on their trek back to Lanzarote overland that just leaves me, Yorkshire Gra and the ‘ginger ninja’ Angie Brand to man (and lady) the turntables.
So we’ve decided to have a break for the week commencing 4th October. It gives us chance to recharge and try out new ideas for the coming season up to (dare I mention it) Christmas. Back bright and early on Saturday 9th.
Stay tuned for our build up to Santa and, as always, feel free to contact us for your requests and shoutouts when we are live on air.
We are also looking for more presenters to compliment the team. It’s fun and very inexpensive to get set up so why not give it a go?
Don’t forget that you can contact us at anytime using details on our ‘contact’ page.
White Beach Radio – Newsletter 01-09-21
Welcome to our first newsletter.
A little about White Beach Radio to begin …….
Two years in the making but now come to fruition, we came about after an unfortunate set of circumstances that affected several presenters.
We are fortunate that two of them, Geoff Buck and Angie Brand, stuck to their principles even though it meant them giving up the thing they loved, presenting live radio.
What a bonus it was for White Beach Radio that they were still available and had maintained their passion for music and presenting when our new station was born.
We are indeed so lucky to have them on board at the start of our journey as a fledgling online venture.
Geoff with his unrivalled knowledge of every track he plays and Angie’s infectious (Steve’s words not mine) style of presentation, with me, Yorkshire Gra, currently rounding off our weekday live shows. I particularly like my ‘Thru the Decades’ shows on Saturdays.
With the recent addition of Steve Youngs (brain goes 100mph but mouth finds it hard to keep up) our breakfast presenter, we go from strength to strength.
Our four shows daily throughout the week and three on Saturday with Tom Kelly on Sunday lunchtime have helped us to achieve our ambition of becoming a credible online radio station and with your continued support and encouragement the only way is up (must be a song title in there somewhere).
Our name?
White Beach = Playa Blanca, clever eh?
As admin for the Playa Blanca, Lanzarote, Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/216111878898764 I thought it would be fun having a group with it’s own radio station but of course we cover news and information for the whole of Lanzarote and beyond.
We also have the White Beach Radio page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/whitebeachradio where you can keep up to date with developments and message us with requests as you can from here on our website using the chat bubble where you will be in instant contact with whoever is presenting live at the time
Advertisements and sponsorship.
You can advertise on our website for a monthly fee (contact us at whitebeachradio@gmail.com for details.)
You can also sponsor the station or individual shows by contacting us as above.
Well, that’s about it for our first, of many, newsletters. We hope you continue to tune in and request your favourite tracks or just contact us for a chat and thank you so much for your support.
