Unity 101 Community Radio is inviting local people - especially small business owners - to get on air and share their stories. The call-out follows our recent expansion on DAB digital radio across Hampshire and parts of Dorset. We now reach listeners in Winchester, Portsmouth, Basingstoke, Poole - as well as Southampton. Unity 101 is one of the UK’s longest-running community radio stations. Run entirely by volunteers, we’ve been on air for nearly twenty years, serving Southampton’s Asian and ethnic communities. Station Manager Ram Kalyan "Kelly" said: "Unity 101’s motto is for the community, to the community, by the community. We’ve always been about giving local people a platform - and that includes you. Whether you're a listener, a local hero, or a small business owner, there’s a place for you on our airwaves." Listeners can get involved in a number of ways, including:
Live interviews
On-air competitions
Interactive phone-ins
Becoming a presenter
For small business owners, we're offering free interview slots in our popular Drive Time show. “It’s a great way for local entrepreneurs to reach new audiences and grow their presence - at no cost,” says Kelly. “It’s just one more way we invest in the community’s success.” Contact Kelly on 023 8023 3239 to get involved.
