‘Local Radio Day’ is an annual event in which local radio stations across the country come together to highlight the value of local radio to communities and to celebrate the unique relationship between local broadcasting and listeners.

This year, the event took place on Monday, 12th October and Susy Radio was one of many stations to take part. You can read more about Susy Radio’s involvement HERE.
