Catch up with our new first regular newsletter.
Released for Christmas we keep you informed with the latest news at TCR HQ.

2012 was a big year for TCR fm. On 1st January we launched the Take Control Chart, a monthly show which counts down the top 40 songs played on TCR over that month.
Summer saw us attend four jubilee events in a week around Tamworth, as we went to Amington, Glascote, Stonydelph and Belgrave to join in the celebrations on air.
Then there was coverage of the Olympic torch passing through town. Also in June we broadcast live from the Volunteer Fair Fun Day supporting all the local volunteering opportunities.
In October we launched The Sports Zone with experienced broadcaster Mike Thomas taking the helm of the three hour show. Every Saturday from 3-6pm Mike runs down the latest local and national sport, including coverage of Tamworth FC. Catch Mike on a special Boxing Day Sports Zone 1-5pm following all of the day's games, including live reports from Tamworth vs Nuneaton Town.
It was our 3rd Birthday on 31st October and we celebrated in style with a party in the centre of town, where we gave away prizes all day long to celebrate 3 years of broadcasting to Tamworth.
There are many exciting plans in store for 2013, so watch this space and keep tuned in...
