On Friday, April 17, Salisbury Radio held a special event to celebrate its occupancy of the city’s central venue.
Salisbury City Hall was the former home of Spire FM from September 1992 until September 2020, when the company became part of Bauer’s Greatest Hits network.
Salisbury Radio was then launched during the pandemic as an online only station, but because the city hall remained closed, the station had to find somewhere else to broadcast and operated from several locations around the city.
Managing director of Salisbury Radio, David Harber, said: “Although the media landscape and radio listening habits have changed significantly since 1992, Salisbury Radio continues Spire FM’s passion for the area it serves.
“The local radio service continues to entertain and inform over 35,000 local listeners every month – online, on smart speakers and on DAB digital radio, it continues to host countless local community events such as The Salisbury Local Hero Awards and today, it returns home.”
On Friday, many attended to show their support, including John Glen MP, the Mayor, Cllr John Wells, and many local businesses and organisations that support or are supported by Salisbury Radio, with hosts Andy Munns and Craig Hicks welcoming guests at City Hall and offering tours of the studio.
