Hi Guys,
Firstly thanks Pete for your reply. Being the MD for a national radio station takes up alot of my time and ill be honest and say I didn’t read alot of the email that was sent, and thanks to everyone that has been in touch regarding my post. Pete is right in what he says and i thank him for allowing it to stay on the site for those 24 hours. It wouldn’t be fair on other people if we were allowed longer time because of the stations status.
National Radio 1 just want to provide Cyprus with a better and more professional radio, with less advertising and more presenter/music show's. Hosted by trained and trainee presenters. The station is set up on the principle of commercial radio in the UK which work, meaning we work closer and more for the community then any other station on this island.
We might only be online right now but we are getting out there and being heard. That’s where the Blackthunder comes in.
I used to work for Gcap Ltd in the UK whom own over 100 commercial station across the country including Essex FM and SGC Colchester (You may have heard me on these stations a number of times lol). Sad to say Dream 100 was not a Gcap station and didn’t have a thunder, although a very good station. The Blackthunder was an idea from Australia which was bought over to the UK some years ago and has been a great success. I have now bought it to Cyprus to work directly with the public. So if you were in Coral Bay you defiantly saw me !!
The Blackthunder is our outdoor vehicle which takes the station to the community across the island. They bring donuts to work places during the interactive lunch show as part of the "At-Work Anthems". Your business gets a shout out on the air as well. We have competitions that the vehicle runs where you can win cash by putting a station sticker in your car and as of September the Blackthunder will be starting the "Cool Ride To School" where your kids can be taken to school by our professional and qualified thunder team and made to look cool in front of all their mates. Also give you parents a lay in the morning. One last thing, if your holding an event or want to promote your charity event, school fair or a promotional do then give us a call and we can send the thunder team down to you.
