Erewash Sound is a community radio station broadcasting to the Borough of Erewash in Derbyshire, including Ilkeston, West Hallam, Long Eaton, Borrowash and surrounding areas. Following a short-term RSL broadcast in the summer of 2005, the station has broadcast via the Internet since 2007. In April 2008, the station was awarded a five-year community license by OFCOM and launched on 96.8FM on Saturday 6 March 2010 at 9am. The station is run by local volunteers from across the borough and broadcasts from studios within the Media Centre on the site of the former Ormiston Ilkeston Enterprise Academy in Cotmanhay. == History == The founding members of Erewash Sound first came together in 1997 and were involved in delivering six short-term 28-day RSL broadcasts as Pride FM in Derby between 1997 and 2002. In late 2004, the station brand Erewash Sound was launched and a 28-day RSL broadcast, supported by the area's local councillors and MP, took place in the summer of 2005. Following the success and popularity of the RSL broadcast, plans were made to apply for a full-time community radio licence as soon as the opportunity arose. In the meantime, the station began broadcasting via the Internet from January 2007〔http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/news/Erewash-Sound-returns-online.2013591.jp〕 with its "At The Weekend" service dedicated to providing local news, sport and information alongside presenter-led music shows. In October 2007, OFCOM invited applications for community licenses from stations across the East Midlands. The Erewash Sound application was submitted and was accepted in April 2008,〔http://www.ofcom.org.uk/radio/ifi/rbl/commun_radio/tlproc/awards/apr08/〕 with OFCOM granting the station a five-year license to broadcast to the borough of Erewash on FM. The station continued with its online service until February 2010 before launching its full-time service online and on 96.8FM on Saturday 6 March 2010 at 9am. A launch day party was held for the station at Ilkeston Co-op in Ilkeston town centre with popular local-born actor Robert Lindsay as special guest.〔http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/news/Erewash-radio-station-Sounding-out.6139143.jp〕 The station commemorated its first anniversary of broadcasting on FM by returning to the Co-op Store in Ilkeston on Saturday 5 March 2011 for a special celebratory event.〔http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/news/Radio-station-mark-birthday-special-shows/article-3282347-detail/article. html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Erewash Sound」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
