Achievements and Perfomiance
2024 marked a major milestone for the station as we proudly celebrated 60 years of
broadcasting - a remarkable achievernent!
The celebrations took place across May and June, centred around a special 60th
Marathon Broadcast Weekend Fundraiser, which drew fantastic support. We were
also featured on BBC Radio Bristol, helping to raise awareness and excitement around
the event.
Oliver Lewis continued in the role of Chair throughout the year. while actively seeking
a successor. In April, Helen Ward stepped down as a Trustee as well as John Leyden
in July and Paul Farwell in January, we thank them all for their contribution. We also
welcomed Dany Mitchell as a new Trustee
The Trustee Board made a bold and forward-thinking declsion to pursue our long-term
ambition of transitioning to DAB broadcasting - a move designed to futureproof the
station and unlock new opportunities. After careful consideration. the benefits were
deemed too far outweigh the drawbacks. and we invested £3,500 to join forces with
Soundvision, alongside other local radio ststions. This funding supported the setup of
the DAB antenna, paving the way for our expansion on to DAB. As a result, the station
will in the future, reach a broader audience across Bath and its surrounding areas.
We continue to champion diversity and inclusion through our weekly LG8TQ+ podcast
by Shout Out Radio, a Bristol based show. Once again, we provided live, all-day
coverage of Bristol Pride 2024, reinforcing our commitment to community
engagement.
Our Mixcloud platforn continues to thrive, offering listeners the chance to 'listen again,
to shows, interviews, and features. Over the year, we recorded 4,281 plays and 42,663
minutes listened- a testament to our growing reach and loyal audience. Social media
continues to do very well with Instagram views regularly reaching over 100,000 views.
We welcomed new members to the team:
Kate Dodds went solo and launched a Sunday Lunchtirne Show and Eliya Hashemi
joined us broadcasting a weekly Filrn Discussion programme. Sam Cooper. who took
over the day-to-day running of our social media as well as interviewing local people
and making local features. Tom Henderson. who has been instrumental in building
relationships with local groups and businesses. while actively pursuing possible
sponsorship and grant opportunities.
We were once again accredited to broadcast the vast majority of Bath Rugby home
games, thanks to our dedicated Sports Team. This included exclusive coverage of
select Bath Ladies Rugby matches. Our relationship with Bath Rugby continues to
strengthen, and we're proud to work closely with key individuals within the club.

Financial Review
INCOME
Income saw a notable increase this year, rising from £1.388 in 2023124 to £2,782 for
202412025. thanks largely to generous donations received during the 60th Marathon
Broadcast Weekend, which made a significant irnpact. As of 31 st January 2025, our
combined bank balance stood at £6,378, split between two accounts: £695 and £5.683
respectively.
EXPENDITURE
Our total expenditur6 rose substantially from £7.978 in 2023124 to £13,146 in
202412025. This includes a strategic investment of £3,500 towards the initial setup for
our transition to DAB broadcasting.
Electricity remains our largest operational cost, Sncreasing from £2,628 last year to
£3.553. As our building is not energy efficient, this remains a key area of concem.
However, the installation of a smart meter has already begun to improve cost
monitoring and billing accuracy with our energy provider, and we've successfully
received credits for Tax and Climate Change fees. We are currently pursuing further
reimbursements frorn our energy provider. which are in progress.
There are no accountancy fees charged for this year Ilke last year, although we did
settle an outstsrKling invoice of £504 for 202212023, which had previously been
assumed paid.
Looklng Ahead
To sustain and grow the station, ongoing fundraising efforts are absolutely critical. We
encourage everyone to get involved with fundraising activities, help seek donations,
sponsorships, or cost-saving initiatives to help secure the future of the ststion and
expand our reach.
