Ryan's Back on The Air

Year 10 Sawyers Hall student Ryan Stokes is currently working with the local radio station for Basildon & East Thurrock, Gateway FM.

The station is community based so will feature lots of information from around the area. It broadcasts live from the Eastgate Centre at the heart of Basildon, from their shop next to the 99p Store on the first floor.

He started work with them in November last year, when he first took the drivetime co-presenting position up until Christmas Eve, when the station went off air.

Since then Ryan has been taking weekly visits to the station for training sessions, online shows, road shows, or anything else that might come up. But Gateway FM will be back on the air from 23rd June until 20th July, and Ryan will once again be working along side Ros Connors in the drivetime position.

However, there is one difference this time round from back in December. Each Friday Ryan will also be presenting his own show between 9-10PM. This show is aimed at school kids, and will feature news from the schools, bands from the Battle Of The Bands, and much more.
To listen to Ryan on Gateway FM tune into 87.7 during 23rd June – 20th July or listen online from http://www.gatewayfm.com. He’ll be on the airwaves weekdays between 4 and 7, and also with Schools Out from 9-10 on Fridays.
