THE 1997 Fleet Motor Show is to have its own radio station - the first time in the 15-year history of the show that it has hit the airwaves. Fleet FM in association with Kwik-Fit Fleet will broadcast on 87.7FM within an eight to 10 mile radius of the show, which is being held from April 29-May 2 at Silverstone.

Roving presenter Caroline Young - who will be dressed in a Kwik-Fit fitter style overall - will tour exhibitor stands and interview company bosses, stand staff and show visitors as well as broadcasting news of contracts and new initiatives. The station will be on the air all four days of the show from 8am-6pm and will also broadcast traffic information, news and weather reports. The station will carry advertising from exhibitors.
