10Radio: Community Radio for the Ten Parishes
The 2012 10Radio AGM
10 Radio Five Years On! Celebrating our Community
A few insightful and well received words were given by:

- Geoff Tinker the Head Teacher from Kingsmead School
This was followed by an enlivened Question and Answer session with Phil, Geoff and 10 Radio Chair Julian Mellor.
During the evening the first ever 10 Radio Community Awards were announced after which there was some informal socialising, light refreshments and a lot of fun.

What's on 10Radio?
10Radio gets thumbs up from broadcast regulator - Ofcom
They have monitored our output and the results are on their website at: http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/broadcast/radio-ops/sampling/10Radio.pdf
Go on, have a read - it will make you feel good! A few choice snippets:
'...it is the live programming which delivers the thorough sense of community which is at the station's core'
'We found the station met each of its commitments through a carefully crafted schedule which allowed each area to be addressed to a greater or lesser extent through the course of the week.'
'The live programmes were particularly community-oriented and all were flexible enough to react to listener texts, messages and calls as well as creating in-studio discussions on local issues, local politics and local events as well as general presenter banter about national issues.'
'It is clear that a lot of thought has been put into the programming schedule, with each of the commitments being given a slot or slots through the week. 10Radio is delivering its on-air key commitments.'
