Yet again a Local FM Frequency lost.
Have seen the decline in the station over the last 5 years and you could see it was coming.
It was created for the community and very raw from the start and really enjoyed it and even the last few years because it has kinda kept the local Sussex vibe but this will be lost now.
Reverb will be next in about 10 years. Seems impossible now but seemed the same with Juice back in the day.

Never listened, was it the usual Spirit FM sort of gash ?

What was Spirit FM? Your obviously a Brightonian and love the Brighton Palace Pier.

I don't understand how a station that started as a local and independent one can become a corporate non event like it seems to be heading towards - surely the original licence was issued for the local and independent reason? The best radio station in Brighton right now is 1BTN, excellent music with local specialist DJ's

 

[Spiros]

Personally I am gutted as Global just churn out banal presenters and the same shit "classic hits". Juice is/was a bit different and I will miss it.

The Global machine took over the old XFM, which played decent indie type music.
Rebranded as Radio X, it's a pile of poo, unless you're listening late at night, where they play the decent stuff.
During the day it's Chris Moyles and Johnny Yawn.

Car Boot FM.

 

[Official Old Man]

What would you want to hear on a local Brighton radio station?
BBC Radio 2 and Heart have the music so what do you want that's different. But remember, six hours of two tone music and an hour of punk will not get the advertisers on board.

Radio Reverb isn’t a commercial station, it earns no money and pays no staff, why would it ever be lost?

All this.

Aside of stations like Reverb the whole local radio thing is dead, gone. Thankfully stations like that can step in. But they need to step up.

I'm happy to pay a subscription to keep groups like Reverb on air but they do need to widen their community content and have more local talk shows etc.

That's not a criticism as I am encouraged by what they do and wish them success.

I'm old fashioned really. I pine for the days of Radio Brighton. I just don't know if the public have the appetite anymore.

BBC Radio Brighton still going in its shed at the Goldstone?

Juice FM lost

Maybe they could merge with Love FM?

Ooooh! Matron.

Just saw the news that it will be re branded from 2nd September. well there is one listener lost here, cant stand Capital or any of the other global brands [Heart 'five songs consistently on repeat' FM]

 

[RandyWanger]

That's a shame. I used to listen to this all the time when I lived in Brighton, Surf 107 back then. I have the frequency saved as a favourite for when ever I drive down.

 

[JakyBF]

At least we still have http://www.codesouth.fm/

 

[Soul Finger]

If you want completely non-commercial, with a Brighton flavour, check out: www.1btn.fm.

Their five songs always seem to include this piece of shite:

 

[Munkfish]

I don’t listen to local radio for anything other than post match interviews on the way home from an evening game.

I cant stand local radio presenters especially when they talk about he Albion.

I used to car share to work and the girl would have heart on every morning with that utter bell end jack the lad. What a complete and utter hampton that bloke is.

'Hungry Eyes' FM is what I call it.

Juice FM used to be 'Surf FM'..that was when it was last good...no adverts...loads of house music and real Brighton clubbing scene vibe.
