WIVELISCOMBE'S community radio station - 10Radio - is to go on air on Monday morning for the fist time since it got the OK from Ofcom engineers to start their radio test transmissions. 10Radio will transmit a test signal of music and voice messages about the new community radio station, on 105.3 FM, from its studios at 1, Croft Cottage in the town, starting at 7am. Finishing touches are being made to the first schedule of programmes covering the first three months of 10Radio's broadcasting. The new community-led service will run full time 7am to midnight, Fridays to Sundays. During the rest of the week breakfast-style programmes will be broadcast from 7am to 9am with a representative selection of 10radio music and repeated output of the best bits from the weekend during the rest of the time. Controller, Edie Gaines, said: "We are very pleased with our radio signal and also how our presenter training has proceeded. "We have a committed group of broadcasting trainers and presenters of all ages, all bursting with creative ideas for their programmes, great knowledge and passion for the local area and of course tremendous knowledge of all kinds of music to suit everyone's taste. "10Radio will no doubt act as a central communication hub for Wiveliscombe and the surrounding parishes - which everyone will be proud of and able to benefit from."
