In what could be a first, Rathergood Radio has moved in it’s entirety, and is now broadcasting to the London area on DAB from studios in Reading.
To complicate matters, what was Rathergood Radio in County Durham and North Yorkshire has now rebranded to Vintage Music Radio, playing music from the 70s and 80s.
Both stations are owned by the View TV Group, who specialise in online TV platforms, but have also been trying to expand their presence in radio.
Rathergood Radio had recently dropped traditional ad breaks, in favour of relying on show sponsorship. Vintage Music Radio appears to have reintroduced ad breaks.
The schedule for Vintage Music Radio is yet to be established, but Craig Andrews has been confirmed to be part of the lineup.
