#InternationalWomensDay #internationalwomensday2025

On the 24th August we celebrate our 6th Birthday! 

Based in the heart of Cinderford at the Miners Hall, we are proud to serve the Forest as your local radio station. From the Forest for the Forest, by the people for the people.

Many thanks to all our amazing listeners, supporters and advertisers plus of course our amazing team here at Dean Radio.

The Dean Magazine Team kicked off celebrations in the studio last night with lots of cake!

Here's to the next 6 years! 

"For Dean Radio to reach it’s 6^th Birthday is a tremendous achievement and there are a lot of people to thank for enabling us to celebrate this occasion so in no particular order, we must thank all our volunteers who week in, week out produce programmes which give the station a tremendous variety of different shows of the highest quality. Obviously, we could not do this without them.

We thank everyone who has been interviewed by the station for either our magazine or sports show or any of our music programmes. You contribute to the overall sound of the station and provide something that no one else can duplicate. Your contributions are greatly appreciated.

To our advertisers who support the station and have done so since our first day on air, thank you so much and please continue to help us if you can.

Finally, to our listeners who have us on at home, in the car or at work, thank you so much for your support and feedback on our shows.

Here’s to our “lucky” 7^th  birthday in 12 months from now."
