2024-12-17 Announcement and further update

PLEASE HELP YOUR LOCAL STATION STAY ON AIR BY DONATING EITHER ON-LINE OR BY CALLING 01323 887117

Tuesday 17 December 2024.

You have likely heard that Seahaven FM was under threat of closure. That announcement at the end of November resulted in a heart-warming response from our listeners across the Eastbourne and Ouse Valley areas.

We can now announce that the station is not closing!

It's been a roller-coaster ride in the last few weeks. We have received an overwhelming number of supportive calls and messages from listeners. They do not want to lose the company of our local presenters, the wide range of music from across eight decades and the useful local information.

Local people and organisations have also donated generously on our Local Giving page. Some are choosing to donate regular amounts which will help our cashflow throughout next year. Also, a wonderful and anonymous local sponsor from Eastbourne has guaranteed financial support during 2025. So, we are now busy planning for the New Year!

Our final present this Christmas is the arrival of an experienced broadcaster to join our management team. He has both run his own successful business and managed a large charitable organisation which, like Seahaven FM, is mainly staffed by volunteers."

It's a Christmas story with a happy ending, for those who rely on us for company during the day, those promoting their community events and for the local businesses which advertise their supplies and services.

Our original announcement on 29 November 2024 can be read here.

The update on 10 December 2024 can be read here.
