Tower FM is an Independent Local Radio station which broadcasts across the towns of Bolton and Bury and parts of North Manchester in the UK from an old mill in Bolton.

Originally an RSL (restricted service licence) radio station, the team behind the project won the full time licence and the station began broadcasting on March 20th 1999.

Since that time the station has changed ownership twice and is currently owned by UTV Radio.

In early 2007, the station's owners approached UK media regulator OFCOM to ask permission to move the station's base from Bolton to the Haydock or Newton Le Willows area of Merseyside as part of a plan to house it in a single building with two other stations from the UTV Radio group: Wish FM (Wigan) and Wire FM (Warrington). Average Audience was reported at 12,000 in late 2006
