Lister Radio at Stevenage Day 2009

Lister Radio were once again present at Stevenage Day and the script could be that of the previous few years as lady luck once again ensured a beautiful sunny day and a fantastic turnout by the good people of Stevenage.

The tried, tested and much loved formula of "win a bike for £1" by simply rolling 9 dice, highest score at the end of the day wins, ensured a busy day for the Lister Radio team.

Pictured below is the winner, Debbie, who rolled a top score of 47 out of a possible 54, receiving her brand new bike from Lister Radio Chairman, Steve Laurence.

Lister Radio featured in The Stevenage Comet 6th November 2008

A HOSPITAL radio station will be returning to the airwaves later this month. Lister Radio will be broadcasting to Stevenage and the surrounding areas on 87.7 FM for one week only from Saturday, November 29 to Friday, December 5 to celebrate the relaunch of its new studio on the hospital site.

It will be broadcast via a restricted service licence with the help of volunteer staff who take time off from their day jobs to provide a 24/7 service Steve Laurence, chairman of Lister Radio, said: "It is immensely worthwhile and goes a long way to raise our profile within the community, but it doesn't come cheap so we need the help of local businesses and organisations via sponsorship and advertising. In return, we can provide loads of on-air plugs and promotion of companies and products."

If any individuals or companies would like to sponsor one of the station's programmes or features, email the team via www.listerradio.com When the radio service receives further funding in the future, it also hopes to refit and upgrade its second studio. "We are completely voluntary and with the exception of the provision of premises, have to be completely self-sufficient," Steve said.
