10Radio has been broadcasting 24/7 for over 15years and many thanks to all those who have helped over the years.
The story so far...
10Radio started life in 2004 when a small group of local residents with an interest in community development read about a community radio station in Manchester and thought "...wouldn't it be great to do it in Somerset as well ..."
In September 2005 10Radio was born with a month of varied broadcasts that took the 10 Parishes by storm. A year later, and the second month of broadcasts attracted 200 presenters and 50 studio volunteers.
Inspired by the success it was decided to apply to Ofcom for a community radio licence and 2 months later we heard that we had been successful.
A frantic year followed finding permanent premises, fundraising, specifying equipment, converting and fitting out our new home, and launching ourselves on the listening public in January 2008.
Since then 10Radio has broadcasted 24/7 on 105.3fm within the area of , the 10 parishes and reaches to and . We can also be heard online at www.10radio.org and on all the radio apps and smart devices at 10Radio.
