About Red Sands Radio

Now in its 5th year, Red Sands Radio takes its name from the sandbank and WWII Army Sea Forts off the coast of Whitstable in the Thames Estuary.

This is from where the station first broadcast in the wake of the last ‘Pirate’ (Offshore Radio) stations that ceased transmissions 40 years earlier when outlawed by British legislation.

With a sharp focus on the coastal towns community, Red Sands Radio came ashore for the first time in 2009 operating from Whitstable Harbour which is where we broadcast from again in 2010.

Programmes contain a high level of topical information,interspersed with local travel, ‘what’s on’, unsigned, local music & guests. With a strap line ‘From the Coast to the City’. Red Sands Radio plays the ‘Best of Yesterday & Today’ and is back on the air in July and is rebroadcast on stations in the UK, Europe and on-line at www.redsandsradio.co.uk

In 2009 and 2010,  Red Sands Radio attracted 1000’s of ‘Local’ terrestrial listeners and were heard  extensively throughout the Coastal Towns.

Astoundingly during 2009′s short broadcast our RedSandsRadio.co.uk website recorded 475,119 hits with 12,340 visitors listening and viewing 114,219 pages from 30 countries. In July 2010 we exceeded these figures with 14,879 visitors, 132,054 page views & 591,847 hits from 49 countries. Red Sands Radio is the local Radio Station with a Worldwide Audience.
