The essential differences between Community Radio and other types of radio are:-
* It is run on a not for profit basis
* It champions volunteering in the community (many of its presenters and off-air helpers are volunteers who receive training in essential skills)
* Individuals and community groups are actively encouraged to take a role in the station to ensure it succeeds in its objective to stimulate community development and capacity building.
Alongside these serious intentions however, GTFM is fun to listen to and our programme schedule includes many types of music, local news and features on topical issues in order to provide the broadest possible mix of information and entertainment.
