Sense Radio, formerly owned by Sixhits Digital Radio Ltd, a business vehicle set up by a group of broadcasting professionals to develop and run a radio station both online and on air, has been taken over by a consortium headed by Neil Walker. Neil was the Director of Operations with Sixhits Digital Radio Ltd, through the broadcast re-brand from Sixhits, to Sense Radio, and will now become the Managing Director of a new business vehicle to move the broadcaster onwards. Outgoing Managing Director, Kevin Coy, said; “This move to take the baton from the initial architects of the service, and move it onwards and upwards, can only mean good things to come for Sense Radio. A new team, with fresh ideas, and more drive and determination will enable the brand to continue for a long time to come. Neil is a very determined person, and I’m sure he will be able to make a resounding success of his new company, and the acquired radio station. I’m confident in his abilities, and will obviously be able to provide any help and advice, as he continues the good work already accomplished by many individuals over the past few years.” Under the guidance of Kevin and Neil, along with others through from development to broadcast, Sense Radio, formerly Sixhits Digital Radio, was developed as a professional station, with long term, views to broadcast on Digital platform DAB in the UK. The station also had objectives of providing an independent, professional place for young people to learn and nurture skills required to make a career in the media. Sense Radio has been acquired the Consortium headed by Neil Walker with immediate effect. The consortium will now work to re-launch the station with a new vision and new outlook.

Sixhits Digital Radio Ltd initially began as 6Television in 2005, a proposal to create a 24 hour television station broadcasting solely via IPTV within the UK. This project later morphed into a proposal to launch and operate a radio station with its aim of providing a quasi-national radio service via the Local Multiplexes of the DAB Digital Radio service in the UK. Sixhits Digital Radio began broadcasting operations at the end of 2006, re-branding to Sense Radio towards the end of the summer in 2007. -Ends- |
