TWIRL stands for Tyne & Wear Independent Radio Listening.  It is an internet-based local radio station which receives no funding but, it is hoped, will become commercial and therefore able to fund itself.

Twirl Radio is also listed on the TuneIn Radio app, compatible with most smartphones.

NEW: Twirl Xtra coming soon! Preview HERE.
