Radio is Evolving!

The station was set up by Colin Rainsford, a former drummer in late 2019 with the intention to begin broadcasting in late March 2020. However, along with the rest of the world, Colin found himself in Covid lockdown . As a kidney transplant patient his lockdown was longer and stricter than many. 

He spent his time fine tuning the station and waiting on a vital piece of hardware that wasn't available as industry had shut down.

On the stroke of midnight on the 12th September 2020, 382 Radio went live and began broadcasting commercial music for the first time.

The goal of the radio station was to include music by independent artists already known to Colin amongst the mainstream music.

Colin began to explore Twitter recommendations and came across 3 bands that were to change the direction 382 would take.

The Metal Byrds, Alice is Sleeping and Portobello Express had no idea some guy in England had purchased their music to play on the show. However, once tagged they plugged the station like you wouldn't believe and suddenly the station was engulfed in track submissions.

The Weekend Live Shows have gained in popularity and now boast listening figures of at least 3 people(!)

The long term aim of 382 Radio is to have full time live daytime shows with  presenters and scheduled auto run shows at other times.

We hope you enjoy what you hear!
