LGBT+ radio station Gaydio, launch ‘Proud to be Me – Together let’s Just Be’ a season of unique programming running from May to November 2019 in partnership with Sky.
OVER the next six months, Gaydio will be recording stories and conversations with people across the UK to broadcast on their on-air and digital platforms.
Sky will also be given the chance to contribute to the content by sharing their own stories and harnessing their relationships with organisations and charities across the UK.
The programming has been created to help highlight under-represented groups that can most benefit from the exposure that this campaign will give, as well as helping to empower listeners to be proud of who they are.
Content will take the form of themed weeks, with content spread throughout the broadcast output in these weeks.
The planned themes and dates are:
May 13 – 17: LGBT+ and Mental Health
July 8 – 11: LGBT+ and BAME
August 12 – 16: Identity
September 23 – 27: Bi Visibility
October 8 – 11: Coming out and Supporting Young People
November 11-15: Trans Awareness

Here at LGBT+@Sky, we’re entirely committed to providing an inclusive workplace for all our colleagues, while recognising that as a global media company, we have the opportunity and responsibility to change hearts and minds in wider British society.
