Transmission Announcement

Transmission turns weekly

Luton’s only indie and alternative radio show is going to be bigger and better than ever as Transmission is moving to a weekly two-hour Wednesday prime time slot on 102.8 Diverse FM.

Switching from a fortnightly one-hour slot, hosts Matt Crawley, Danny Buckley and producer James Cunliffe will provide you Transmission listeners even more of the freshest, new music from rising stars, unsigned artists and the biggest bands and artists around.

And with news, reviews, live sessions, interviews and everything you need to know about the local music scene, you’ll get to hear what’s hot, right now – before anyone else.    

Crawley said: “We’re really thrilled with what we’ve created so far with Transmission and there is no other radio show doing what we do in Luton. We pride ourselves on playing new music first and where Transmission leads, others follow. You’ll hear national radio stations play the tunes we do – only weeks later. 

“But we’ve always wanted to do things bigger and better. We can’t thank Diverse FM enough for giving us an improved platform and we’re ready to share even more of the music that we love.”

Buckley said: “Transmission has been drawing attention from all over the country. Bands and artists are hearing about what we do and have been sending us their music. We started the show saying that if we love a song we’ll play it and that won’t change because that’s how radio should be – no playlists, no pluggers, just a passion for great tunes. And now we’ve got even more scope to give great music the air time it deserves. C’MON LUTON!”  

If you’re in a band or you make your own music, send your tunes to transmissionluton@gmail.com.
