Community Radio Station

Jamie Crick

Haslemere has a new community radio station online and smart speaker at the moment but the station hopes to be on DAB Digital Radio soon working with colleagues at Shine Radio in Petersfield and Wey Valley Radio in Alton.

Radio Haslemere has been created by parishioner Jamie Crick who previously worked on Delta Radio. Says Jamie, “Haslemere is unique as virtually the only area of England with limited TV and Radio coverage. Also as a unique town with so many events and festivals it makes sense to build a transmission system and provide a place to hear local bands and information”.

The station is designed to include everyone from U3A members to young people keen to work in media and get some experience.

Says Jamie, “I have one rule for the music - every song should be good and accessible to all”.

Jamie’s experience includes working on Classic FM, BBC Surrey, BBC Sussex and he currently hosts Jazz FM afternoons.

Says Jamie, “I love radio and the way it connects with people through so many platforms”.

The station is not for profit and is hoping for local involvement so if you have something to say or an idea for a programme you can always say hi at hello@radiohaslemere.com.

So far we’ve had news on the Haslemere Players, The Fringe, Soup Recipes and we’re looking forward to recording locals at Haselwey and of course Chris and Justin have been on.

Says Jamie, “We have so many people with things to say and great talents locally so get me off and make this your station - I’ll provide the tech”.
