Community radio station Thornbury FM has announced it is extending its broadcast coverage to Bradley Stoke.

The station, which first started in 2005, will soon be available over much of South Gloucestershire.

To tie in with the extended area, bosses at the station say they will now change their name and want the help of the community to decide what it will be called.

David Primrose, Thornbury FM chairman, said: “Our new extended coverage area means that we need to change to ensure we are relevant to our new listeners.

“We need to reach-out to more local organisations in the community, involve yet more budding local presenters, and appeal to people across the wider South Gloucestershire area.

“To do this effectively we think we need to find a new name that recognises that we now serve more than just Thornbury.”

The station currently broadcasts in month-long chunks on restricted service licences but is currently mulling a move for a full-time licence.
