HCR 92.3 celebrate 2nd birthday

Halton Community Radio, based in Castlefields in Runcorn celebrated


their 2nd anniversary of being on air last week and celebrated with a

party at The Studio, Lacey St in Widnes. The station’s presenters

deejayed the night away, plus local bands The Hutts and Coalhouse

performed acoustic versions of their best tunes. The party was

attended by HCR’s volunteers and listeners, some of whom have been

keen fans of the station since it first hit the airwaves on 92.3FM

back in 2008.

Rob Green, Chair of HCR’s executive committee said ‘We were delighted to


meet so many of our listeners old and new. It was a great way to

celebrate our 2nd birthday. Here’s to the next two years, and many

more.’

Pete Muldoon is the Project Officer at the station. He runs the REACT

course at HCR – funded by BBC Children in Need - which provides free

training to young people in Runcorn and Widnes. He said, ‘Halton

Community Radio continues to go from strength to strength. At the

moment we have 54 volunteers contributing their free time to help the

station run smoothly. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank

everyone who has been involved, including our advertisers and

sponsors. And of course our listeners who make it all worthwhile.’

For more information on the REACT course, if you would like to
