UK Radio Aid, the unprecedented collaboration between the UK’s commercial radio 
stations to run a joint fundraising broadcast, has raised over £3 million for the
DEC’s tsunami appeal.
More than 250 local and national commercial radio stations

a joint fundraising broadcast.

Presenters included Chris Evans, Simon Bates, Kate Thornton, Davina McCall, Zoe 
Ball, Frank Skinner, Mark Goodier, and Johnny Vaughan.
