We have grown up with the comforting voice of Wave 105 on our radios. It has been a dominant force on the South Coast, providing us with local news, music and entertainment. The presenters have become like family to us - their familiar voices echoing in our homes and cars. They talk about local things that matter to us; they are part of our community.

Now, we face the risk of losing this cherished radio station as plans are underway to transform it into 'Greatest Hits Radio'. This change threatens not only the unique content we love but also the sense of community that Wave 105 fosters.

Wave 105 is more than just a radio station for us; it's an integral part of our daily lives. It's where we turn for comfort during tough times and for celebration during good ones. It connects us all across South Coast England.

We understand that changes in broadcasting are inevitable due to technological advancements and market demands. However, these changes should not come at the expense of local content or erase what makes a station special to its listeners.

We urge those in charge to reconsider this decision and preserve Wave 105 as it is - a beloved local radio station that serves its community well. Let's keep our airwaves filled with familiar voices talking about things close to home.

Please sign this petition if you believe in preserving local broadcasting and keeping Wave 105 as it is!
