Station Personnel

The Three Tiers

1Board of Director: Pulse Radio has a dedicated board of 5 directors, they are all volunteers, having the same goal, which is to bring community radio to the Cheddar valley and surrounding areas of Somerset. They each bring a wealth of knowledge within their own spheres of work expertise, this has helped establish Pulse Radio to have clearly defined policies to ensure that the maximum potential of a community radio station for the area can be realised for the better of all within the area.

2Management Committee: Under the remit of the board of directors Pulse Radio has a volunteer Management Committee, they are responsible for the stations direction and involvement within the local communities. The 8 committee members represent a diverse age range of the local community, the youngest are only 16 while the more mature are 65+, they all wish to see their communities benefit from better representation.

3Station Volunteers: Like all community radio stations, Pulse Radio would not exist without the dedicated involvement of its local volunteers. Pulse Radio are very lucky to have so many willing members of the public looking to support the community in which they live. Members are involved in all aspects of the station from behind the scenes support, administration, fund raising to front-end show presentation.

Core Commitments

Below is a list of the core commitments of Pulse Radio.

• The Community
  Pulse Radio is committed to the improvement of our local community, we aim to achieve this by our commitment to all local community groups. We will work with the local group's to highlight any support issues, offering them radio exposure by means of on air interviews where they will be offered the chance to explain to potential members what they do.
• Local Charities
  We are very committed to working with ALL local charities and good causes to highlight their work. Any not-for-profit good causes will be offered FREE advertisement of any events they may have to help raise awareness.
• School Support
Here at Pulse Radio we will work closely with all local schools to enable them the opportunity of having students involved within the station.The obvious area is work experience, however Pulse Radio are keen to see students use all aspects of their school curriculum, allowing them to self promote for instance a school play, this would involve, the music department for a potential jingle, business studies for potential sponsorship, English language for the writing of presentation scripts.

Students would also need to hold a democratic vote with respect to which student(s) would voice the show presentation on air, other students would need to carry out follow up interviews after the play with members of the audience.
