This year's Churches Media Conference in England will feature a special "stream" focusing on commercial radio. On each day of the conference, people working in commercial radio will be invited to special sessions where they can share their thoughts, ideas and concerns about commercial radio in general and what place Christianity has in their workplace and on the air.

Practitioners and key figures from the commercial radio industry have been invited to encourage, challenge and inspire, and there will be plenty of time to meet fellow professionals currently active in this exciting and fast-changing arena.

"This is the first time that those of us in commercial radio will have our own sessions at the conference," said stream producer Colin Lowther of Bradford-based HCJB-UK and Whistling Frog Productions.

"Christians working in commercial radio can often feel isolated in such a competitive field and this new stream will be a great chance for us to meet and learn from each other. It's also an opportunity for those who've had little contact with the Churches Media Council in the past, to find out about new ideas which are coming forward for the future."

The annual conference will take place at the Hayes Conference Centre in Swanwick, Derbyshire, June 11-13. For details of the commercial radio stream contact Colin Lowther at clowther@hcjb.org.uk.
