Local Radio Day 2018 Highlights

Radio Harrow marked the third Local Radio Day with a special day of shows ahead of the Bank Holiday Weekend. With programming from the studios, and out in the community, the station joined stations up and down the country in celebrating Proper Local Radio, on a day which is now a firm fixture in the Radio Harrow calendar.

David Reece and Wendy Sherer served up breakfast, the radio show variant, from 8am from studios in Northwick Park, with an exclusive interview with the new Mayor of Harrow, Kareema Kairul, who began her term in office the previous day.

During the morning, presenters Nick Edwards, and Shrey Puranik went on a ‘bus tour’ in the locality, checking in with the studio team at regular intervals.
