Konnect Radio: join the journey at MK

Konnect Radio: join the journey at MK

This year we are ‘going big’ at CRE 24 – with a mobile studio and full team.

So says Gareth Cottrell (above), who launched Konnect Radio three years ago.

‘The exhibition holds a special place in our heart,’ said Gareth. ‘It was the first event we ever attended and this year visitors and listeners will be able to hear interviews and live broadcasts from the Marshall Arena.’

The station began three years ago when Gareth, 40, used 20 years’ experience in commercial and BBC radio to set up the new station. It provides a regular supply of Christian and

mainstream music, to bring ‘positive, safe, family-friendly content with added fun and laughter.’

Konnect is available over the internet with a series of day-time presenters and non-stop 24-hour music. It now reaches more than 60,000 people across the UK. Evangelist J John presents a weekly show on Wednesdays from 8pm and singer-songwriter Sue Rinaldi presents the Sunday breakfast show from 8am. Gareth himself hosts the weekday breakfast show, waking the nation from 7am.

‘We are a positive alternative to other stations,’ said Gareth. ‘We believe music helps

people on a spiritual journey whether that be through a new encounter or developing an existing faith.’

Anyone can listen via the Konnect app, through a smart speaker (just say ‘play Konnect Radio’) or at Konnectradio.com.
