NEVIS RADIO
ENJOYED BY 578,404 LISTENERS
Yes, that was the case once again from the official SSDT Radio Station Nevis Radio, the station local to Fort William and Lochaber, which broadcast live from the Scottish Six Days Trial event’s Parc Ferme located at the West End Car Park from Monday 2nd May until Saturday 7th May 2022. The voices of the superb outside broadcast team this year consisted of John’ Big John’ Weller, Simon Abberley and the guest presenter, Trials Guru’s very own John Moffat, supported by Pam Weller, Dan MacLeod, Sean McCartney, Deborah Weller and David Sedgewick. As well as radio broadcasting, the station was on air with live video streaming, with daily broadcasts from 07:00–11:00am. The station’s sponsors were again Michelin Tyres in association with Trial Magazine, a relationship going back to 2009.
Simon Abberley: “Nevis Radio would like to thank Michelin and Trial Magazine for their continued support over the many years of sponsorship.
As a registered charity, every penny we receive counts towards our continuous service to help us broadcast across Lochaber.
“In recent years, we have expanded into the world of live video streaming on the internet. Without the support from Michelin and Trial Magazine, we wouldn’t have had the funds available to offer
this service. Being mostly volunteer-based with one staff member involved takes a great deal of resources to achieve our Scottish Six Days Trial coverage. This year we passed the half-million listeners hitting a weekly total of user base/ listener/ viewer statistics of 578,404; this does not include our listen-again options or social media interaction.
“In my time at Nevis, we introduced live video. It started with a simple webcam; however, this year, we planned a multi-camera setup and a remote camera in HD alongside our FM feed. The audio and video are available on our Nevis radio app for iOS and Android or on our website at www. nevisradio.co.uk. In addition, video will be available on www.youtube.com/nevisradioofficial or audio on third party radio apps such as Tune In and our portal and smart speakers.
“The support from John Hulme and John Moffat bring that extra edge with the knowledge they have on the sport of motorcycle trials — thank you to both of you and, of course, Trial Magazine and Michelin Tyres.”
