Ex-Wessex three together at KeeP106

Three former Wessex FM presenters have reunited at Dorchester’s local radio station KeeP106. Former local radio presenter Dave Goulden is returning to the airwaves after a three-year gap. Dave, who presented on Wessex FM before it was sold and rebranded to Greatest Hits, will present his own show every Thursday from 8pm. The show promises two hours of music from the last five decades, local gig information and comment on local stories. Dave said: “Local radio is in my blood, as is Dorset, so I wasn’t ever going to be that far away for the next chapter in my radio journey.”

Another former Wessex FM presenter has moved from evenings to weekdays. Kieran Williams has been with KeeP106 since its launch and has been the popular presenter of the 10pm show LateNight Love. His move to

10am is part of a refresh for the station, which has a new sound during the day and specialist programmes each evening from 6pm. Kieran, the station’s programme director, said: “KeeP106 offers a local alternative to the national radio stations with music from the 1970s to today. It is great to have David Goulden with us – he brings a wealth of experience to the team.” The radio station now boasts three former Wessex FM presenters with former Wessex FM MD Steve Bulley also part of the lineup. Steve, who is a director of KeeP106, is heard weekdays from 1pm and Sundays from 10am-1pm. KeeP106 won the licence to broadcast to the Dorchester area five years ago and is run entirely by volunteers. It offers a unique selection of specialist music shows evenings from 6pm. n Details can be found at keep106.com
