A brand new radio station will be hitting the airwaves in Stafford next month.

Launching on 7 September, Beacon Stafford is a community radio station created by a group of local people who are keen for the town to have its own voice.

Legendary Stafford DJs such as Darren Westwood will be hosting shows as well as a range of new talent.

When asked to reveal more information about Beacon Stafford, Darren said: "I can't ruin all the surprises can I?

"All I can say is that this will be a full on community project and we will bring in as much local talent as possible from presenters, background staff and tech staff.

"It is a really exciting project for the county town and a very positive thing for the people of Stafford."

A countdown to the launch can be seen on the Beacon Stafford website and people who want to know more can sign up for updates.

There is also an application section for anyone who would like to volunteer at the station.
