Contact route
Confirmed rather than assumed: no email address, telephone number or postal address exists anywhere on the operator's site, checked across the index, this channel's page, the sibling channel's page, the community subdomain and the catch-all page served for unknown paths. This channel's page carries the same in-player request system as its sibling, a Search and Request tab and a Browse and Request tab with per-item Request buttons posting to the site's own api.php under a rate limit, and the same community forum link on the operator's own subdomain with passwordless email-link login and listener-created threads. The route is the operator's and shared across its channels.

What we corrected
Nothing. This station's entry matched what its own site says, which is worth recording: a clean check is a result, not an absence of one.
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| The stored homepage path for this channel serves the site index rather than the channel page, as does every unknown path | The channel page carrying the request feature is at the station.php query-string address, which is where the request system was verified; there is no email, number or address anywhere on the site to withhold.

| the six channel names the operator runs alongside this one | they are catalogue detail, not transmission facts, and none of them carries a frequency either

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
