A special programme dedicated to celebrating the life of our friend, and colleague, Brian Rose, has been nominated for the category of Best Event.
Finally, an on air promo to promote our North West London Wellbeing Challenge campaign; encouraging good wellbeing habits, has been nominated for the category of Best Station Promotion.

The 2024 edition of Local Radio Day focussed on building bridges, and this year, the Radio Harrow team did just that with a day of live broadcasting to mark the occasion.
The day began with a special edition of the breakfast show, hosted by David Reece.
Shrey Puranik then broadcast a mid-morning show, Local Shreydio Day, during which Andrew Bottcher caught up with the organisers of Northolt’s Haunted House.
At midday, a Local Radio Day Team Show special aired, with live interviews with Sharon from Mums For Lungs, and Julian Lloyd, CEO of the regional branch of Age UK.
There was live coverage on social media throughout with Radio Harrow volunteers and members of the community alike sharing what local radio meant to them. We’ve included the videos from our official Instagram page below.
Friday 8th November marks Local Radio Day 2024, and Radio Harrow will be presenting a series of special shows to mark the occasion.
From the official Local Radio Day website:
This year the theme is Building Bridges. Radio is a powerful medium with the ability to bring people together. It connects its listeners to local news, events and acts as a platform for community groups.

It is with great sadness that we share the heart-breaking news that Vic Moont, our dear friend and colleague passed away in the early hours of Friday 23rd August.
Vic gave a lifetime of service to Hospital and community radio and was an early and active member of Radio Northwick Park, including holding Trustee positions. Vic had a passion for Country music and Jazz, which he shared with others for many years broadcasting his Dixieland Country show, every Thursday.
Many of us will have fond memories of Vic as a broadcaster and friend, including his attendance at numerous HBA awards across the country, social events and fundraising activities. He will be deeply missed.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.
Add your stories, memories and condolences to our condolence page here.
