On Monday 17th January 2005, competition and rivalry will be put aside as the UK’s commercial radio stations come together for the first time in commercial radio’s 31 year history to create UK Radio Aid. This unique national commercial radio station will specifically focus on raising money for the children affected by the Asian Tsunami and support them as they to start to rebuild their lives and look to the future.
In an unprecedented collaboration Emap, Capital Radio, Chrysalis, GMG Radio, GWR, SRH, Classic Gold and Virgin will suspend broadcast of their usual schedules across all of their national and regional stations from 0600hrs to 1800hrs, and air one single star-studded programme to an estimated audience of over 20 million listeners across 200 stations, the biggest ever UK commercial radio audience.
Never before have media owners joined forces in this way, putting humanitarian concerns before commercial gain to raise money for a charitable cause that has touched the nation. UK Radio Aid will be launched across all participating stations at 0815hrs tomorrow (11th January 2005).
Participating stations have agreed to launch the appeal by each donating one day’s profits. This initial donation will be supported and built upon by asking listeners to donate one hour of their time or money to the appeal.
With the support of Prime Minister Tony Blair, some of the biggest names in radio history alongside other major politicians, musicians, sports and TV stars are being asked to take part in the 12 hour broadcast that will be aired live from Capital Radio HQ in London’s Leicester Square.
