Have you ever thought of becoming a Radio Presenter?

Are you currently a Radio Presenter at another station and have become disillusioned with far too many broken promises and had a gutful of your station’s politics!

Here at Sanctuary Radio we are looking for great Radio Presenters.

If you want to just play great music and have the freedom to play what you want so long as it’s within the ethos of what we play as a station, then the world’s your oyster.

Sanctuary Radio broadcasts 24/7 WORLDWIDE and we love what we do.

We don’t do Diva’s here, (we have had a few of them pass through already) 🥴

We only have a couple of very simple rules! If a couple of rules is too much for you, then perhaps you need not apply.

If however you’re looking for something a little extra and perhaps you are still happy at your current station but want an extra slot, then get in touch.

At Sanctuary Radio we offer you a great station with truly amazing presenters and if you want to be part of the team, then contact our studio manager

Tony@sanctuaryradio.co.uk

If you have a demo then great, upload it to Tony and let him have your details and he will be in touch.

We will say this: Look at what we play as a station! We don’t play Country music, Rave & Jungle.
We had to say that because we have had demos sent to us which included the above.

We play; Soul, Funk, Disco, Jazz Funk, Garage, House, Hip Hop & R’n’B and a few extra specific genres like Jazz etc.

So if you think that Sanctuary Radio would be a great fit for you, then we would like to hear from you.

You have the freedom to either broadcast LIVE, VT, Pre-recorded and if you have used Myriad before then that’s even better, but we can teach you if you haven’t.

So in the first instance, make contact with our studio manager Tony and he will chat things over with you.

If your current station will only allow you to play for them, then feel free to play for us under a different name.

Remember this; It’s Radio, music is for everyone! Internet radio is unpaid and all we ever want to do is play great music to whoever will listen.

Stations don’t own you! YOU are your own destiny!
At Sanctuary we just want to play great music, giving presenters great musical freedom to play millions of great tunes from the vast genres that we play to millions of people.

What are stations worried about? You leaving? They don’t own you!

At our station we encourage our presenters to play for as many other stations as they want.
All we want to do is help YOU and in-turn you help US! It’s an amazing opportunity for both Presenters and us as a station to show the world your talents.

So, what are you waiting for?

Hi All

At Sanctuary Radio we support everyone and play requests for anyone.

At 12:30 today we are interrupting the normal broadcast to do a very special request for a day centre called “Treetops” based in Billericay in Essex

It a day centre that supports Adults with learning disabilities and they have requested three songs;

Those songs are tunes that has a very special meaning to these Adults and we are more than happy to play their requests:

The first song to be played will be Sister Sledge: We are family

This is a song that is played a lot at the centre and the clients love this song and so it’s most definitely one of the three that we are playing.

The second tune is: Barbie Girl by Aqua

Now while this is a song we don’t normally play at Sanctuary we are more than happy to play it today for the clients that have requested this.

The third and most important tune is one they all SIGN to:

The Reason: By Calum Scott

They sign MAKATON to this; For those of you that don’t know what MAKATON is: It’s a unique communication programme that uses symbols (pictures) Signs (gestures) and speech to enable people to communicate.

So if you get a chance today listen in for this special request that will be aired at 12:30 today (8th Nov)
