At the start of the pandemic in March we took the decision to make online access to our news free of charge by taking down our paywall. At a time where accurate information about Covid-19 was vital to our community, this was the right decision – even though it meant a drop in our income. In order to help safeguard the future of our journalism, the time has now come to reinstate our paywall,

However, rest assured that access to all Covid related news will still remain free. To access all other news will require a subscription, as it did pre-pandemic.

The good news is that for the whole of December we will be running a special discounted offer to get 3 months access for the price of one month. Thank you for supporting us during this incredibly challenging time.

We value our content and our journalists, so to get full access to all your local news updated 7-days-a-week – PLUS an e-edition of the Arran Banner – subscribe today for as little as 48 pence per week.

Here is the striking logo for Arran’s brand new radio station ArranSound.com.

It was designed from an original drawing by Jemma Totty who won a competition held for S1 to S3 pupils at Arran High School to come up with a logo. She also received a £50 prize.

This was awarded to Jemma during school time as unfortunately
due to the Covid restrictions, the new station could not have the great ‘reveal’ that we
had planned.

Jemma’s design was chosen because it is bright, cheerful and clearly describes what ArranSound.com does and who it is for.

Jemma had carefully thought through her idea and worked with the team to
refine it for our media use.Arransound.com is a community radio for everyone
living on Arran, the island is cleverly identified in the earphones, which also
explains what we are about, along with the colourful soundwaves and added
slogan ‘radio for all’.

As first revealed by the Banner in July the new internet radio station has been born out of The Arran Banner talking newspaper service and aims to provide a new exciting, one touch, service which will bring and local news and views to everyone on the island overcoming visual and ability barriers, social isolation and physical distance.
