Introducing the new voice of local radio
107.1FM: TORREVIEJA RULES THE WAVES Don’t miss the launch – Monday at 8am
A BRAND NEW radio station will hit the Costa Blanca airwaves on Monday morning. Radio Torrevieja will transmit on 107.1 FM, offering a service of music, entertainment and information. The station is currently putting out test transmissions, and although based in Torrevieja, takes in the region between Alicante Airport in the north, to San Javier Airport in the south. Radio Torrevieja will be on the air 24 hours a day, with an experienced presentation team. The schedule will also include weekends from 8am, the music being a mixture of
oldies from the 50s through to the present day, along with new releases and some Spanish tracks. Non-stop music will be played during the night. There’ll also be a full service of news, details of local events and interviews, along with the chance for listeners to take part in competitions and to ask for their favourite tunes. Chris Ashley will open up the station with the Breakfast Show on Monday (October 1) at 8am, with programmes initially running through to 8pm, seven days a week. Other names confirmed for Radio
Torrevieja include Dennis Christian, Davy Jones, Alex Trelinski, Dave Knights, Peter Hurst and Darren James. With the most experienced broadcasting team in the area, Radio Torrevieja aims to provide a professional service tailored to the needs of the audience - and it’s already received major support from local and national advertisers. It will also be the only full-time English language radio station broadcasting from the city, and therefore stands uniquely placed to bring a compelling radio service that fills a large gap on the local radio dial.
I’m a seat, not a stowaway
A young would-be immigrant tried to enter Spain illegally last weekend using a unique ruse. To avoid being detected by police, young Africans have been found in a variety of hidey holes, such as underneath lorries, inside barrels, amongst loads of oranges or
covered in tomatoes. However, never before has anyone been found inside the front passenger seat of a car entering Spain. The 20 year old was discovered in the Renault 7 inside a metal frame which was covered to look just like a car seat.

asked Jordan if he was OK. My son replied, ‘No, I think you broke my leg.’ “With this, he jumped back into the car and sped off. Seconds later, another car came along and the police and an ambulance were called. “Jordan now faces a slow and
painful recovery. He’s at home at the moment after five days in Torrevieja Hospital and needs daily injections in his stomach, pills and very strong painkillers. “The family are distraught and disgusted that this could happen. If anybody has any information as to who did this to our son, please contact The Courier or the local
police.’’ As police step up their hunt for the person responsible for Jordan’s injuries, the Formosas would like to say a big thank-you to Ron and Jenny and James for all their help at the scene - and also to express their gratitude to La Marina Ambulance, local police and Torrevieja Hospital.
