Harborough FM
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harborough FM (HFM) was formed in November 1994 with the aim to provide a local FM radio station for Market Harborough and South Leicestershire areas, as it was felt the established independent local stations and the local BBC stations failed to cater for the population of South Leicestershire.
Since 1994, the station has carried out eleven highly successful broadcasts, the most recent ending in June 2004. These broadcasts were made under the Radio Authority's 'Restricted Service Licence' scheme which allowed the station to broadcast for a maximum period of 28 days.
June 15 2005 was an extremely momentous day for HFM, as it was when they were awarded a full-time licence by OFCOM, the government office for communications, to broadcast to Market Harborough and South Leicestershire 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The station launched in February 2007 and now broadcasts 24 hours a day on 102.3 FM and online at www.harboroughfm.co.uk
