Red Kite Radio on the BBC!

The team behind a series of short term radio broadcasts to support and promote Haddenham's summer beer festivals, has been awarded a full time radio licence by the government regulator Ofcom. Red Kite Radio, based at the Haddenham Garden Centre, won the five-year licence after convincing the body that this area deserves and can sustain a full time version of its successful Summerfest Radio broadcasts.

Covering Haddenham, Thame and all of the surrounding villages, the team of volunteers, with professional backgrounds in national and local radio, have operated four highly successful short term broadcasts supporting and promoting the Haddenham summer beer festivals (Summerfest).

Mark Chapple from RKR chats to BBC Radio Oxford about the successful application to Ofcom and what listeners can expect from Red Kite Radio
