What people say
about our DJ radio studio hire service
We've regularly used Radio Studio Hire at The Staplehurst Studios for programmes and DJ
shows using ISDN, with no problems ever. Always friendly and ready to help and cost
effective too. Not time pinching either.
Alison Kerr Horizon Radio
"Christmas and booked
to promote Taylor's Port on 11 radio stations down-the-line
from central London. Suddenly the studio went out of
business. I then found Radio Studio Hire on the Internet.
They confirmed instantly. Thoroughly
professional with clinking wine bottles for sound effects.
Andrew

"I'm happy
to recommend this studio hire service for Radio Showreels. I
recorded a demo with Radio Studio Hire.com and was given
some great support and creative production ideas for the
radio showreel. Great coffee too. Thanks to a
super producer.
Karen

“I was approached to present a show on a station in Exeter
earlier this year, which I enjoyed. I was asked again in the
summer whether I could do another show. As I live in West
London, it’s a long distance to travel. For that reason I
started to consider an alternative option to presenting the show
“live” to providing a pre-recorded show. I trawled the websites
relating to “radio studio hire” and after some due-diligence,
decided on using The Radio Studio facilities. This decision was
mainly based on the personal touch provided by Rod Lucas from my
initial email enquiry. Rod’s assistance and input based on his
experience was invaluable. I would definitely recommend and use
this service again”.
