Black Cat Radio is an Ofcom licensed Community Radio Station based in St Neots, Huntingdonshire. It began it's life back in 2012, founded by ex-BBC radio presenter Tony Gillham.[1] The station was granted its Ofcom FM license in April 2017.
The station won 4 awards in the 2023 Community Radio Awards[2] - including Gold for Male Presenter, Ste Greenall; Silver for Newcomer, Jenny Jefferies, Silver for the local programme, 'Your Voice', and Bronze for Brian Dobson, Volunteer of the Year.[3]
The Late Ernie Almond was nominated in the Sage Category of the awards. Ernie was the inspiration behind the 'Your Voice' programme format.[4][5]
The station acquired pioneering software at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling its presenters to broadcast from home.[6] During this time Ernie Almond interviewed a local Baptist Minister, Jon Magee and suggested he collaborated with other religious figures in the town to bring religious programming to isolated listeners, something we would be able to achieve by means of the new software.[7] This venture very soon became a reality.
In its seventh year, Black Cat Radio is respected as a major voice within St Neots and speaks on behalf of the residents to promote the town's welfare and growth.[8]
The station has partnered with Huntingdon Community Radio to apply to Ofcom to bring DAB to the area.[9]
