Enjoying a drop of red.
Have you changed your streaming URL, as I can't get the station to play on Tunein this afternoon?

Website much less cluttered now. Obviously a work in progress but a good base to start from.

That was long winded bollocks...

Went past the Stafford FM building today. Looks dead as a doorknob and fairly empty, must be serious as I've heard quite a few shocking facts about what's been going on behind the scenes while talking to a couple baboons on my morning swing. Kudos to the people who've left, I wouldn't put up with such egotistical, spiteful, childish crap either! I'm guessing what ever's going on will not end pretty. Stafford doesn't need a bunch of half wit crooks with huge egos prancing around like they're famous. We need people who actually do what it says on the tin, not promise the earth to the community and then provide a half arsed service then tell people to get stuffed when Stafford FM cannot deliver.

I've yet to hear a good thing about the individuals that run it currently. All I can say is, good luck. You're going to need it...

Hi.
We would like to take this opportunity to point out that we are now broadcasting on 87.7 FM. Stafford FM was crafted to embrace the community in everything we do, and we welcome any feedback. The radio station is a 'not for profit' organisation and we're reliant on the good will, gestures and enthusiasm of our volunteers. Yes it's fair to say that we don't get alot of things right, but we are all working towards one common goal, to get a full time FM community license. This will only be achieved through the hard work and endeavor of our fantastic team of volunteers. We are not aiming to be another commercial radio station, in fact, we have a tremendous amount of respect for our local commercial radio station, Signal One, and there is also certainly room for BBC Radio Stoke aswell. Each service should compliment each other and are designed differently to cater for all tastes and needs. The ethos of Stafford FM is to provide an informative platform for the community to be involved in. Whilst we are someway from landing that full time FM license, we will continue to embrace the thoughts and opinions of the community in which we aim to serve. We would also like to point out that Stafford FM is an avid supporter of Stafford Forum, in fact, up until recently we had an 'agreement' in place that allows this great forum for discussion 'exclusive' exposure on the radio station in the form of an advert. The Stafford FM presenters continually support the forum and you will often here one of the team referring to Stafford Forum whilst on air. The nature of the project means that we have no specific target demographic and although we try our best to cater for everyone, we cannot please all of the people all of time. You will see that I am not hiding behind a mask ( although some would like me to ! ), nor am I personally attacking anyone or any other organisation, to the contrary, I am proud of what Stafford FM has achieved in such a short space of time. Personally, I have sacrificed an awful lot to help make Stafford FM what it is today, I do not get paid, nor do I intend to gain any financial wealth from the project. I do not currently work, other than to plough my time into making Stafford FM a success. I have volunteered my services for well over 18 months and although I struggle to make ends meat, I take great satisfaction in what we ALL have done with the radio station since it's inception. I can quite categorically say that all of our 40 something volunteers have also sacrificed something to get where we need to be today. Unfortunately, having been in the radio industry for over 20 years, I know only too well how people can sometimes be over opinionated about what they hear on the radio, whether that be a presenter, or the music a radio station plays. However, I would like you all to spare a thought for our volunteers within Stafford FM. Whilst you may not like everything we do, and for this I apologize, an awful lot of hard work, determination, good will and even tears have been shed through the selfless way our team has created and driven this radio station forward.

On behalf of our volunteers ( myself included in this ), we would like to thank you and please do embrace your local community radio station, a truly unique concept of radio which will continue to gain in strength.

Thanks.
Stu Haycock
Director.

Whatever gripes, disputes, ill feeling you have, why not deal with it privately? Most people just don't give a stuff and simply want to listen to their local radio.

Brushing dust under the carpet isn't how a wise monkey would roll. I'd know I'd like to know what's going on with our community station and I bet clients would too, especially if they have spent money with them. Talking to some orangutans earlier who said volunteers don't know what's going on. Nice to see the team are keeping others informed and not letting them turn up to an empty building *cough* sorry I meant ... uninformed.

I've noticed the original .com site has now got a "technical" fault disclaimer. Strange, seeing as there's a brand new webpage up.... Can't see much point in have a new one unless the old one is unfix-able? Pieces of the puzzle are slowly starting to fit, can't wait to see the full picture.

Get real Talent and people who want to do it for fun not financial gain like 2 presenters and the others get nothing how fair is that??? They are a joke and need a professional with the know how on how to run it not COWBOYS lets face it the idea is great but the end product is poor and full of shite

Are the internal issues of a local radio station really that interesting?

Now I can actually hear them from my PC, that's all I'm really interested in.

This sounds bananas as a comparison but: Would you support Seville after knowing what you know now? Nope. All seems fine at the time right? I don't think supporting bad people is a good idea.. Not to say that anyone at Stafford FM is bad, but from what I've heard makes me question them.

Sometimes you can overstate your case to the extent that you end up looking stupid. Every single one of your 37 posts since you registered have been to directly discredit Stafford FM, yet you purport to be wishing the best for Stafford in general. How come you've not posted in any other threads on the forum whatsoever? You obviously have an axe to grind but I'm not sure doing it here is benefitting you or anyone else reading the forum.

As I have no idea without resorting to Google who or what "Seville" is, so your comments reveal little.
