The Planet

Our Mission

BrandB Rad!o will be the dynamic media platform for the Movement's 'Call to Action' for the Planet

Content

BrandB Rad!o will always be up to date with the unfolding climate story; reflecting, analysing and positively affecting the NOW of our Climate & Biodiversity Crisis. Presenting quality spoken-word and music, 24/7, globally, the BBC's founding-principles to inform, educate and entertain will apply equally to BrandB Rad!o, empowering our listeners toward increased Influence and Climate Action. Radio technology and listening culture have moved on since their inception over a century ago. The modern audience expects a different ‘certain-something’, a style and content edge which catalyses their longer and deeper listening. We'll be that musically on-it, helpful, uplifting and bright companion to our listeners' days and nights.

Sustainable

We are currently growing BrandB as a mass audio-platform, messaging and advancing the Positive News and 'Green Thinking' about the Environment, Biodiversity, Lifestyle, Food & Drink, Fashion, Travel, Health & Wellbeing, Sports, Arts & Culture and much, much more.

BrandB will promote eco-wise goods and services to a listenership of consumers who are keenly aware of, or at least awaking to, the power their buying choices have for the future of, well, let's face it, everything!

Hop Aboard

Emanating from any smart device, whether on the go, busy at home or with your feet up, enjoy guest podcasts to guided meditations, passionate and encouraging interviews to quirky ecotainment and classic contemporary music. BrandB Rad!o's talent will create programmes that have a different effect between the ears!

Youth

BrandB is involving young people at all levels of its production- and talent-teams. We'll feature their news and views to inspire the rest of our Rising Generation. If you know anyone who has the right skills and passion to contribute, please urge them to contact us!
