Bridging the Wave is a project led by our station team, where we explore other independent radio stations across the globe. The goal is to foster international collaboration, enrich our radio output, and learn from different cultural and creative contexts. Independent stations—both in the UK and abroad—often operate in silos. Through this project, we aim to build meaningful connections from Manchester to the rest of the world, creating a global network of creative collaborators and shared broadcast opportunities.
