GaydarRadio owner QSoft Consulting is leaving the radio business and
handing over its DAB licenses to Manchester community station Gaydio.
As a result of the transfer, GaydarRadio will cease broadcasting from
its Twickenham base and all programming for the London and Sussex areas
will be controlled by Gaydio from Manchester.
The community station will now operate three broadcast licenses;
Manchester FM, London DAB and Sussex Coast DAB. Most programming will be
shared, but FM will split at times to continue offering more
speech-based programming and specialist music shows. A revised schedule
and new on-air sound will launch on Monday morning at 7am.
As part of the agreement between Gaydio and QSoft Consulting, the
Gaydar dating brand will continue to be supported by on air editorial
programming and advertising support.
GaydarRadio began broadcasting in 2001 as an internet only radio
station before winning its DAB licences. The station has won numerous
industry awards including Sony Radio Academy and Arqiva awards.
