The move will take place over the summer months and the radio station’s first official live broadcast from their new home will be on September 1, 2016.

 The directors of RadioReverb see this move as a huge opportunity for the radio station, making it more accessible for listeners and allowing the community aspect of RadioReverb to be more visible from this acclaimed location in the city.

The radio station is famed for being involved with a number of local events and RadioReverb hope that the new relationship with the Open Market will allow for more interaction within the community space with listeners, local businesses, community groups and cultural activities.

 Tracey Allen, Director of RadioReverb, said: “RadioReverb is all about the community and we feel that the Open Market is right at the heart of that vibrant and eclectic side of the city. We cannot wait to start broadcasting from our new space in the market and being more visible to our listeners, it’s a very exciting future for RadioReverb.”

Paul Tricker, Market Manager at the Brighton Open Market, added: The Open Market is proud to welcome RadioReverb to its historic site! In addition to the great stalls and units which we have we can now boast Brighton’s brightest radio station are coming along to join the party. The management team are pleased that RadioReverb have decided that we are the right place for them to broadcast to our great city. The Open Market and RadioReverb are a match made in heaven and we look forward to a long and happy partnership.”

RadioReverb is run entirely by a team of volunteers and OFCOM have recently extend the community radio licence held by RadioReverb Limited until 2022.

 RadioReverb is the 24 hour community run radio station for Brighton and Hove and all the shows that they produce are open for sponsorship from local businesses.
