}}Radio Tamworth, is a not for profit community radio station based in Tamworth, Staffordshire with a target audience of people from 30 to 50 years of age.[1][2]

The station, based at Tamworth Youth Centre (known locally as TamYouth),[3] is run entirely by volunteers who perform jobs from station management to presenting their own show and news reading. They also provide training courses, to volunteers to provide them with the skills they require to participate in the activities.

Radio Tamworth also has strong links with the local community and youth groups getting involved in local events promoting local bands and artists and offering advertising to local businesses.

TCR fm closed on 22 October 2017 after eight years broadcasting across Tamworth.[4]

A brand new sound came to 106.8 fm on 1 December 2017, with a fresh team bringing an exciting sound for community radio in Tamworth with "Radio Tamworth".

History

TCR FM was set up in 2005 and first broadcast in the summer of that year on a 28-day Restricted Service Licence (RSL) with the frequency of 106.9 FM from Saturday 30 July until Friday 26 August. It then went on to host another RSL in summer of 2007[5]

After completing the RSL in 2007, the directors at the time Daniel Hoult and Martin Summers went on to apply for a 5-year Community Radio Licence[6] which they were awarded by OFCOM in May 2008.[7] They started broadcasting on this licence on 31 October 2010, with a start time of 5pm,[8] with a new frequency, which they use to date, of 106.8FM[2]

In December 2010 Ofcom found TCR fm in breach of its licence commitment to produce 12 hours of live programming per day. The station struggled to fulfill the hours due to volunteer availability with live hours varying with an uneven spread and most shows at the weekend when young volunteers are available.[9]

In April 2011, with the agreement of Ofcom, the station was granted a change to the licence commitment to reflect the nature of the service, and the availability of volunteers. The new commitment is:

"The service will typically be live for at least 44 hours per week. Weekends will generally carry more live output per day than weekdays. (Live programming may include pre-recorded inserts, if applicable). The majority of the output will be locally produced."

Events held by Radio Tamworth

  • Pre-Launch Open Day – in conjunction with TamYouth's open day, the station opened its doors to the public on 1 August 2009 between 10am-4pm where volunteers were on hand to chat about what the station does and to promote their launch.[10]
  • Launch Party – Held at Trinity Nightclub, Tamworth, on 30 October 2009 as a joint party between the two companies. This was broadcast as live on the station all evening. This was for over 18s only due to the venue's age restrictions[8]
  • Under 18's Launch Disco – Held at TamYouth on 5 November 2009 for listeners between 12–17 years old as the station were aware of the previous launch event's restrictions. This was broadcast live on the station from 7pm on the night.[11]
  • First Birthday Party – Held at Q Lounge in Strykers Bowling Centre, Tamworth on 30 October 2010. Included Fancy Dress, live performances from Tamworth band "The Twin Jets" and Sheena Vultaggio and also a DJ set from presenter Scott Cameron.[12]

Events Radio Tamworth or representatives appeared at

  • Midlands Music Festival – two of the presenters, Erica Dancer and Hannah Smart, went to the Midlands Music Festival in 2010 to be part of the press team and collected interviews and audio clips from artists such as 80's icon's Sister Sledge and new boy band The Wanted.[1]
  • Tamworth Carnival 2010 – Radio Tamworth had a stall at the carnival to promote themselves.
  • Zippo's Phoenix Circus – presenter Scott Cameron was invited to take part in a circus stunt when zippo's arrived in Birmingham. Listeners of his show got to decide what stunt he performed, which was to limbo under fire. The audio from this was played out the next morning on the breakfast show and a video was made available online.[13]
