The members of Radio North Angus Ltd wish our audiences a good New Year and every happiness in 2012.
We would also wish to thank all who supported us in 2011, including Angus Community Health Partnership, advertisers, sponsors, and individuals. The assistance is very much appreciated.
On a personal note, I wish to express my gratitude to the members of Radio North Angus for their dedication throughout the past year.

We have recently been upgrading the Stracathro radio station to become a centre of radio communication for the people of North Angus, negating the present requirement to travel to Arbroath to participate in our broadcasts.
Over the past two years, we have reinstalled a transmitter at Stracathro, and extensively upgraded the studio and IT equipment from hospital radio to independent local radio requirements, the majority of the cost being borne by a grant from the Angus Council Community Grants Scheme. Separate telephone line and broadband facilities have recently been installed that allow for live programming to be relayed from Stracathro to the main transmission system in Arbroath, and subsequently broadcast on FM, DAB, and the internet. We have recently appealed in the Brechin Advertiser for volunteers specifically for the Stracathro station, and new members are currently being trained.
RNA has conducted football commentaries from the home games of Arbroath FC since 1996.
However, it has come to light that this compromises a contractual arrangement between the Scottish Football League and IMG, to which Arbroath FC must abide, and, accordingly, commentaries have ceased from immediate effect.
We are grateful to the Directors of Arbroath FC for the facilities to broadcast the commentaries over a protracted period, and to the SFL for being very understanding over this matter.
We wish both organisations every success for the future.
Radio North Angus is hoping to recruit new volunteers for the radio station based at Stracathro that been extensively upgraded, with further improvements planned.
