Our Broadcasters

Our broadcasters come from all walks of life, ages, countries and professional backgrounds. We have professional DJs and long-time skid-rowers who’ve been broadcasting since the early days; young people playing the music they love as well as a range of current affairs shows discussing local and international news.

Our broadcasters are largely volunteers who generously give of their time and talents to make the Radio Skid Row what it is today. Where broadcasters are paid it is through project grants. Radio Skid Row works hard to offer our broadcasters training, support and opportunities. Find out more about our broadcasters on our Shows page.
