The bards, writers and performers of Wolverhampton and further afield will be
celebrated on the airwaves later this week.
The city’s station 101.8 WCR FM is broadcasting eight hours of live output from the
Wolverhampton Literature Festival. The presenters and guests will be appearing at the Mander Community Hub – and you’re being warmly invited to come along, enjoy the performances, and say hello.
The action kicks off with Jason Forrest’s Friday show between 12 and 3pm, followed by Tim Beech on Saturday between 10am and 1pm and Chris Allen, who’ll present his Sunday show between 12 and 2pm.
It’s the Festival’s seventh year and organisers are hoping the radio partnership will bring the event to listeners all around the world via WCR’s online service, which is available both live and on demand.
WCR FM Chair Chris Allen says: “We couldn’t be more excited to be highlighting some of the incredible talent that exists in and around Wolverhampton. It’s a huge celebration of everything that’s good about our city – and that’s exactly the image we want to project on our radio station.”
The station and the Festival are also being supported by volunteers from Creative Black Country, a project which provides opportunities for people to involve themselves in publicly funded arts and culture.
You can tune in live on 101.8 WCR FM, online at wcrfm.com or via Smartspeaker
(“Play WCR FM”). There’s also a host of information about timings and guests at the Festival via wcrfm.com/calendar/
