Devon-born disability radio station goes on DAB+
An Exeter based community radio station for disabled people can now be listened to on DAB+ digital radio. Access All Aerials (AAA) has got its DAB+ licence, making it the first disability broadcaster to go fully digital. The radio station is operated by 50 people with disabilities and airs shows aimed at empowering the disabled community to have its voice heard. Access All Aerials is run by Community Equality Disability Action (CEDA) from its radio studio in Marsh Barton and says thousands of listeners tune in to its range of music shows and talk radio. CEDA said the radio station also aimed to help disabled people be visible and valued. Greg Hill, who presents the station's Tuesday Drivetime programme, said: "My hope for the future is to build our listenership and get our voices heard; mainstream radio doesn't give the same opportunities to disabled people."
