Radio Hartley Wintney was formed in 2003 to
coincide with Walk Wessex a church based initiative to spread the Christian
message to villages, towns and cities in the Hampshire area. The first broadcast of 3 days was entirely Christian
based music, when it was reformed in 2004 it was decided that the music would
cover all tastes from Classical to Rock to appeal to a larger audience. Since
its' inception the Radio has been on-air on seven occasions, totalling in
excess of 600 hours programming. The latest broadcast
went out in June 2008.
Future Plans
For earlier broadcasts
the station has had to "beg and borrow" the equipment to go-to air. In June
2005 the Church PCC agreed to purchase the necessary equipment. The Studio
was set-up in October 2005 and whilst not ideal in terms of space and
layout, it is adequate for our present needs. It is hoped that the
radio will have a permanent home in the new Church Hall when it is
built.
