A NEW community radio station has been approved to operate in the Scottish Borders.
The Galashiels-based TD1 has been awarded its licence by broadcasting regulators, Ofcom, with licences awarded for five years.
Says Ofcom: “Community radio services are provided on a not-for-profit basis focusing on the delivery of specific social benefits to a particular geographical community or a community of interest.”
It adds: “TD1 Radio will provide a community radio service catering for people living and working in Galashiels, Tweedbank, Melrose and Selkirk.”
