The saga of how the north of Scotland secured its own commercial radio station at this time in history is unique. Radio station licences were strictly controlled by the Home Office and the standards for output were set deliberately high. Here we have a group of community activists who didn’t have experience or a penny to their name. They raised funds for photocopying their application by holding plant sales and in the process scared off the more serious local investors who didn’t think they’d pull it off. But they did.
Making Waves is the fascinating true story of a real David and Goliath-style tale in which the great British underdog triumphed against the odds. It’s also packed full of hilarious stories and comedic anecdotes. If you have fond memories of listening to local radio in your younger years then this book is a must!
