The Bridge FM Management team
The Tayside Hospital Broadcasting Group is managed by a working group of six, tasked with relaunching BRIDGEfm in 22/23.
The Working Group is made up of Allan Coburn, Andrew McArtney, Clifford Cooke, Ken Anton, Ronny Costello & Trevor Balneaves, and will be in place until the AGM in 2023. Collectively the group has over 100 years of Hospital Radio experience and look to use that plus the help of the membership to build on taking The Tayside Hospital Broadcasting Group forward given the difficult time we have all faced since the pandemic hit in March 2020.
The Working Group will aim to stabilise and start to move the station forward again with a 3 R approach:
- REBUILD the station
- RECRUIT new volunteers into the membership
- RE-ENGAGE with the listener in the hospital
In addition to the working group, there is also a number of Management Groups to help with the efficient running of the Organisation and Station:
