THE team behind a new online community radio station celebrated the cash boost that was instrumental in getting the show on the airwaves.

Clyde Coast Radio received almost £10,000 from the National Lottery to get up and running.

The team also received support from 7 1/2 John Wood St and Inverclyde Community Development Trust.

The station's founder, army veteran George Coyle, says since going live on 17 July, the station has attracted more than 300 listeners a week.

George said: "I'd like to thank the National Lottery and the Trust for their ongoing help and support for our local community project, and everyone else who has made this fantastic community radio station happen."
