Ahead of the Northern Pride festival, Newcastle and Gateshead is to get Pride Radio for a months RSL. Broadcasting from office space donated by Eldon Square shopping centre between June 21st and July 17th, the station hopes to prove the demand is there for a full time community station. The not-for-profit community station will cater for the LGBT community, 24 hours a day on 87.9FM.
Pride Radio will feature well-known names from radio in the North East as well as personalities from the Newcastle gay scene. As well as music and events, the station will also broadcast news, weather and travel at breakfast and in the late afternoon.
The photo shows Miss Rory and Ophelia Balls who are launching their Two Drag Legends show. And the South Africa 2010 World Cup is top of their agenda, in a football-themed show. They won’t be chatting about England’s chances of winning the tournament and Capello’s choice of players, but rather who’s got the best legs and having a look at the fashions of the WAGs too.
