An LGBTQ+ radio station is launching a weekday morning show.
Queerly Radio, an internet radio station which serves the LGBTQ+ community, will launch its new show entitled Queerly Breakfast with Rob Gillett on Monday, 5 June at 7.30am.
Gillett, who is also Queerly’s founder and content director, will present the live morning programme which will offer a mix of music news, culture, entertainment and topical discussions centred around LGBTQ+ issues.
“Queerly Breakfast’ will continue the mission I started with Queerly Radio: to create an inclusive and engaging space for our community,” Gillett said.
“I have always wanted Queerly to be a place where no one feels alienated, somewhere that feels like a warm hug from a friend who just gets you.”
Queerly Radio launched during the first lockdowns in 2020, when safe social spaces were severely limited, and has grown to reach 14,000 listeners in the first quarter of 2023.
The daily breakfast show will have a range of regular features, which include:
- Streamlover: A daily guide to the best LGBTQ+ entertainment across all media platforms.
- The 5,4,3,2 Won: A daily music quiz, where listeners compete to top the charts.
- The Pull Down: The first port of call for the latest LGBTQ+ updates on social media.
- Queerly’s Record of the Week: Showcasing the best in new music, celebrating both established and rising artists.
“These features are designed to engage, entertain, and inspire,” Gillett noted, adding: “Whether you’re exploring new entertainment, testing your music knowledge, or getting the latest social media buzz, Queerly Breakfast will have you covered.”
You can join Queerly Radio for the launch of Queerly Breakfast with Rob Gillett on Monday, 5 June via the Queerly website, by asking your smart speaker to “play Queerly Radio”, or on mobile apps including TuneIn Radio, RadioFM, and myTuner Radio.
