More recently the station completed their most recent studio-move on 19 October 2012 to a new purpose built studio in the Darley's building, formerly a public house on Porter Street. Between late 2013 and early 2014 the station saw a large shift in management and gradually a large number of staff and volunteers left the company after internal disagreements between many of the volunteers and paid management. Many of them have since been involved in the startups of two new radio stations in East Yorkshire, Beverley FM and Hull Kingston Radio. In October 2014, the station was re-branded as 106.9 West Hull FM with the tagline 'Your Community, Your Station', with the aim to provide a stronger focus on the local community with the introduction of new locally made programmes and presenters. This included The Community Show with Greg Harman; a speech based programme focusing on the local charitable and voluntary sector, a new live Saturday morning show presented by Simon Williams, a weekly live LGBT discussion programme called 'Loud & Proud' on Tuesday evenings and a Rock music programme on Thursday evenings. A new website (westhullfm.org.uk) was also launched at the same time, which allows people to listen to the station live online in addition to their allocated FM frequency in the local area. The station's web stream can also be found in the TuneIn directory. The station has over 800 Twitter followers. In 2015 the station worked with BBC Radio Humberside as part of BBC Radio's project with community radio to produce news pieces about local stories like Hull's city of culture preparations, news pieces were played on both stations increasing exposure. 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「106.9 West Hull FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
