  • To get ѿý Somerset out into local communities across the county.
  • To find out what people in Somerset want from their local radio station, and from the ѿý in general.
  • To promote the major ѿý campaigns, such as the Reading and Writing project (RaW) and Springwatch and Autumnwatch among many others
  • To feedback to the ѿý any brickbats and bouquets - from listeners and viewers - who might not usually have the chance to comment
  • To broadcast live radio shows around Somerset from a town or village near you

We've broadcast the Jo Phillip’s “Morning Jo” show. We've made sure you get home safely with Elise Rayner’s “Drive” and the county has woken up as we've broadcast live into Adam Thomas’s daily “Big Breakfast”.

Even the “Saturday Breakfast” show presented by the former resident of the ѿý’s “Broom Cupboard”, our very own Simon Parkin has been out and about on the bus.

His show came live from the Royal Bath and West show and a week later from Baltonsborough, where we joined in with the locals as they held their monthly “grumpy old man’s “breakfast.

But live broadcasting isn't all that we do.
