The North East’s Frisk Radio is launching a new station playing high-energy music.

This latest addition to the Frisk Network goes live today, Friday 1st November at 6pm with producer and DJ, Rik Shaw hosting the first show.
The new station uses Vudio’s automatic beat mixing technology, which takes the output of the music scheduler and feeds it into a sophisticated mixing algorithm. This setup delivers seamless mixes of Frisk Bounce’s playlist around the clock.
Frisk Bounce joins the main Frisk DAB station and spin-offs Frisk Groove and Frisk Guilty Pleasures.
You can hear Frisk Bounce via the Frisk Player app, at www.friskradio.com, and through smart speakers.

Spark Radio, the station run by students at Southport College and KGV Sixth Form College, is to launch on DAB from Monday 4th November.

With the expansion to DAB, it means the station will reach a potential audience of up to 330,000 across North Sefton, Central and West Lancashire.
Spark Radio is introducing a community-based programming style to appeal to diverse interests.
This coincides with the upcoming launch of KGV Sixth Form College’s new T Level in Media, Broadcast, and Production, set for September 2025.
The course will offer students an industry-focused education in media, and Spark Radio will give students a real-world broadcasting experience, from presenting to show production.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for our students,” said Stephen Musa, Vice Principal. Spark Radio’s DAB launch will provide hands-on experience in broadcasting, production and media management, offering invaluable skills for their future careers and a chance to make a real impact in the community.”

Tower Radio, which was was launched by students at Spalding Grammar School about two years ago, is appealing for help.

The idea to start the station was partly inspired by former headteacher Mr. Wilkinson, who officially opened its studio – an old storage cupboard transformed to meet the station’s needs – before moving on to pastures new.
After returning from the recent half term break, it was discovered that a large water tank above the studio had burst, flooding the space, leaving it unable to be used.
Unfortunately, all the equipment was submerged and is unrepairable. The discovery on Monday morning was a shock to everyone involved, but the students and staff are determined to get back on air as soon as possible.
To make this happen, the students urgently need your support. If you have any old equipment that you no longer use, your donation could make a significant difference in helping them get back off the ground.
If you can help, or would like more information, email: info@towerradio.co.uk so radio stars of the future can get their station back on the air.

The News Agents team will also be in Washington to give in-depth coverage on the race. Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel, and Lewis Goodall, will produce a series of daily special episodes of The News Agents and The News Agents USA.

Shelagh and Jon will also be joined by leading figures who have been at the heart of US politics throughout recent administrations. The show will be live on LBC, and Global Player, as well as live on TikTok, and YouTube, and simulcast on LBC News.
From 5am to 10am on Wednesday 6th November, Nick Ferrari will continue the non-stop election coverage with a special extended edition of his show.
