Rutland and Stamford Sound

RUTLAND & STAMFORD SOUND is a brand new independent Community Radio Station for the Rutland and Stamford area, led by Rob Persani with wide ranging volunteer support. Our focus is to support the local communities of Rutland, Stamford and the surrounding area. Rutland and Stamford Sound will have local content, local presenters, local stories and local involvement in every aspect of its operations. We plan to build on the best aspects of the original Rutland Radio whilst embracing new broadcast methodologies to serve both traditional and new audiences, with great music and a distinctly local feel. Our Project Manager and Breakfast Presenter is local legend Rob Persani. With Rob’s enthusiasm, experience, audience loyalty and knowledge of the area second to none, we expect to get off to a great start! The station is governed by an independent Community Interest Company (Rutland and Stamford Sound CIC). The Board and management team are all volunteers, local people with business, broadcasting and community experience. We will be publicly accountable for our operations, transparent on how we use our funds and will undertake regular engagement with the local community. Our staff and volunteers will operate to Ofcom standards of best practice. We can't wait for perfection and hope you will bear with us as we learn, adapt and continue to grow in a financially sustainable way that means we will be here to support the Rutland and Stamford area for many years to come. We look forward to this exciting journey and thank each and every one of you for your support along the way!
