I enjoy the Weekend shows on 96.5 Bolton FM which are slightly different in their output. Andy Haslam with the Breakfast show does lots of local events and info plus a round up of local news on the half hour. On Sunday Clare Green looks at films in the local cinema then looks at Bolton Wanderers in the second hour. Mid day on Sunday Tom Brady plays 2 hours of golden oldies. Really enjoyable listening while relaxing at home with the coffee and toast. Very professional and a credit to all concerned. Support your local station that cover Bolton as a community not just for the odd story that might be of interest elsewhere. If Bolton is to become a City then we need our own identity and 96.5 Bolton FM can be the voice of Bolton.
I tune in 3-4 days a week to 96.5 Bolton FM and find them very entertaining. Yes they are not quite up to Radio 2 standard in some areas but as volunteers they put on a good show. They concentrate on Bolton for news/sport/events and charity news which most other local BBC or Independent stations would not and do not cover. Good cross section of music too. A valuable yet under valued service as i spoke to people locally here in Morris Green who are still unaware of the local radio station in the centre of town. Spread the word and keep it local.
