The Mayor of Luton is launching an internet TV channel on Tuesday.
Tropical FM, a community radio station, has been in operation for just over a year as a web-based radio station and now it’s creating its own internet channel.
The Mayor, Councillor Syd Knight, will be cutting the ribbon at the launch in Windsor Walk (off Hastings Street).
Mayor Knight, said: “It gives me great pleasure to officially open Tropical FM’s new internet TV. With this expansion of the station, they can reach wider audiences and provide training opportunities for young people who are interested in working in broadcast media. I wish them every success and look forward to viewing some of their community programmes in the near future.”
Tropical FM is a community station dedicated to educating and engaging with local communities.
Dennis Riley, Managing Director, Tropical FM, said: “The aim of the station is to equip all sections of the community with resources that will deliver peace, harmony, respect, care, education and training as well as fun and entertainment. We are really excited about our latest development and currently have 28 presenters broadcasting a variety of shows and programmes and we hope that more people will come forward and join in our internet TV.
“Our future aims includes delivering a 24 hour, seven days a week schedule of live and pre-recorded programmes as well as live streaming of community events; and not only connecting with other parts of the UK but also abroad.”
