"This is Keith Community Radio" - When those words were broadcast at 10.45 on the morning of 17 February 1986, they proclaimed the launch of the smallest radio station of its kind in Britain.
A public meeting had been called some months earlier to float the idea and attracted a good number of enthusiasts eager to volunteer their services in putting out a daily diet of programmes to Turner Memorial Hospital, Linn Home, Glenisla Home and the Community Centre. There was something for everyone in music, requests, news, story telling, religious slots, sport and interviews with local personalities. Home was a studio in the basement of Randall Webster's house. Randall was one of KCR's founders and you can still hear him each Start Up & Close Down!
The initial genesis of KCR closed in March 1993, when the Management Committee decided, in the face of financial difficulties, to "mothball" the service. Then, following changes in legislation on community radio, KCR was revived.
With the help of Moray Firth Radio, KCR went back on air in 1997, and now broadcasts 5 days a week, and not just to Keith but to the whole of Moray and beyond....
