Remote Programme Management

Keep your station organised, consistent and running smoothly

I provide practical remote support for community radio, volunteer-led stations, student broadcasters and local services that need an extra pair of hands with schedules, presenters and day-to-day programming.

Flexible monthly support, tailored to smaller stations and growing teams.

When a station is busy, programming can become hard to manage

Community and local radio often run on goodwill, limited time and small teams. That is where schedules start to drift, communication becomes patchy and the same few people end up carrying the weight.

Too many moving parts

Presenter changes, cover problems, shifting schedules and everyday questions all take time that station managers rarely have.

Volunteer pressure

Volunteer-led stations often rely on a handful of committed people to keep everything on air and on track.

Inconsistent output

Without someone keeping an eye on the detail, gaps, clashes and uneven standards can creep into the output.

A practical extra pair of hands

This is not consultancy for the sake of it. It is straightforward, useful support that helps your station stay organised without taking on extra staff.

Support includes

  • Programme schedule management
  • Presenter rota coordination
  • Cover planning and gap management
  • Show development support
  • Light admin and communication support
  • Helping maintain consistency across the output

Best fit for

  • Community radio stations
  • Volunteer-led local stations

Why work with me

Experience counts when you are supporting a live radio service and the people behind it.

Built for someone with a strong radio background, real-world programming experience and a practical understanding of how stations actually work under pressure.

You get reliable support without the cost, commitment or admin involved in hiring another member of staff.

“An extra pair of hands when your station needs structure, consistency and breathing room.”

Frequently asked questions

A few common questions stations may have before getting in touch.

Do you need to be based at the station?

No. This service is designed to work remotely. I can support your team using email, calls, shared documents and whatever systems you already use.

Is this only for community radio?

No. It also suits student radio, training stations, small local broadcasters and any service that needs help with scheduling and programming coordination.

Can we start small?

Yes. Many stations begin with lighter monthly support and increase it only if they need more help.

Need a bit of help keeping things on track?

If your station could use an extra pair of hands with programming, schedules or presenter coordination, get in touch and we can have a simple no-pressure conversation about what would help.

Mike was quick to respond and produced options to consider. All went smoothly and communication was friendly, professional and delivered in good time. Thanks again!
