WRN Broadcast (WRNB) and Canis Media launch UK's first shopping radio station, Shop Radio.

Shop Radio will be broadcast on the Sky platform (Sky EPG radio channel 0184) twenty-two hours a day, seven days a week with amazing offers from 0600 right through until 0400 hrs and can also be found on the web at www.shopradio.com.

This new radio station will be the first of its kind in the UK to bring radio listeners the same quality products that TV viewers have had access to for more than a decade.

David Treadway, Chief Executive of WRN Broadcast said,

‘We are delighted to be leading an experiment in a new way of delivering content to customers. TV shopping is big business, why shouldn't it work on radio?'

Ed Hall, Chief Executive of Canis Media said,

‘I have been looking for the right partner to launch Shop Radio for nearly ten years. WRN Broadcast is a great distributor of radio stations, and a combination of our market knowledge and experience and WRNB's history in radio seems like a winning combination to me.'
