It is with much regret that we have to advise you that the studio and transmission equipment for community radio partners of ours, B.C.F.M., at Easton Community Centre were destroyed by fire caused by a suspected electrical fault this morning (Thursday). The studios are apparently devastated and will not be coming back on line any time soon, and some small damage has been caused to the wider Easton Community Centre. No one was injured during the event, which happened during the morning’s transmission of the older people’s programme “SilverSound”.
