COMMUNITY radio station Hope FM in association with the Daily Echo is inviting readers to make special song requests.

People who would like to hear a song for themselves or someone else can email their request along with a brief explanation on why they have chosen their particular song and who they are requesting it for by emailing studio@hopefm.com.

Songs will be broadcast between 9am and 10am on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday on the Hope FM extended breakfast show.

Meanwhile, people who would like to pay tribute to someone who has passed away can honour the life of a loved one on air by selecting two pieces of music. In between the songs, people will have the chance to say a few words.

To pay tribute to a loved one, email Blair Crawford at blairc@hopefm.com. You will also be provided with a podcast copy of your tribute.

Hope FM can be found at 90.1 FM. Alternatively, listen online at hopefm.com or via the TuneIn App at https://tunein.com/radio/Hope-FM-901-s80435.
