Radio Victory's Chairman David Cousins
with Managing Director Jo Corben-Richards
After a break of almost a decade, Radio Victory sailed back on to the wavebands of radios of the Greater
Portsmouth area to celebrate the Flagship City of Maritime England's 800th birthday and to commemorate
the 50th anniversary of D-Day.
The Victory flag was unfirled in May/June 1994 and fluttered in the breeze for a mere 28 day sojourne.
After a major rent, the ship now sails along the Solent via the latest fibre-optic streams, the Victory
flag flying proudly; new horizons now beckon this sturdy and much loved vessel as she weighs anchor on a
voyage towards the trade winds of a full-time FM broadcast license. For nearly three years the ship and
her seasoned and dedicated crew, recognising a disenfranchised audience, have faithfully served the
communities of this unique geographical conurbation - carefully delivering its bounty of much needed
news-music-information and entertainment, the quality of which has long missing and greatly missed by
the people she serves.

Your Voice in the Community
Radio Victory was created specifically for the area which it serves and unlike established radio
operators, all of whom beam their service into our area from non-local sources, we are situated in the
heart of the city. Other than popularity, our criterion is that what we broadcast has local emphasis and
provides a truly local service.
Revolutionary at its inception
- still evolutionary today!
No other commercial radio station caters specifically for the unique character of our area and audience.
Our programming and production team delivers and emphasises the upscale quality and above all, the local
input its audience craves. Local people have a great pride in their City and Radio Victory is proud and
privileged to be part of it and its community.
Radio Victory is a thoughtful, creative and quality approach to broadcasting in the area for the late 90's
and beyond.
The emotional connection between us, our programming and our listeners is growing and solidifying through
our 24 hours a day cable operation, and with each short period of FM transmittion (28 days).
We see no particular deviding line between news and information and general programme presentation. Much
more than just a music station Radio Victory has cut across heavily formatted radio trends and
restrictions to form its own genre.
We are a broad based news, music, information and entertainment service, unique in today's radio market
place. We include local news and news background as a major part of our general programme format.
