Here are a few facts about Hastings Rock ...

• Hastings Rock is a not for profit organisation manned entirely by volunteers. All of the DJs and backroom staff are involved with Hastings Rock purely because they love the music and the radio station.

• Apart from playing some excellent rock music that you will not hear anywhere else, we also help raise awareness for Macmillan Cancer Support.

• We offer access to the community through our links with William Parker Sports College. They provide us with local news through their media studies group. This links provides students with a real opportunity to prepare and read the news for a local radio station, an opportunity that they could not find purely in the classroom.

• We also support local music by playing CDs and interviewing some of the many bands from the area who would not otherwise receive airplay. We have a show dedicated to local music every Sunday.

• It is expensive to put Hastings Rock on the air for the 28 day broadcast. There are several seperate licences that are required before we can commence broadcasting.

• The funding required is raised purely by the generous support from our advertisers and any fund raising events that we hold during the year. We have no backers apart from ourselves.

• Without our advertisers, there would be no Hastings Rock.
