Skyline FM is one of the "third tier" of UK radio stations licenced by Ofcom[2], which launched in January 2006. The station broadcasts on 102.5FM from studios based in Hedge End, Hampshire, to primarily the villages of Hedge End, West End and Botley, although it can be received in other parts of the Borough of Eastleigh. The station plays a wide range of music, along with regular items of interest to the local community, focussing on groups such as amateur dramatic societies, choirs, senior citizens clubs and scout groups, which are considered too small to be given much airtime by larger radio stations in the area. Skyline is run almost entirely by volunteers, and although many of them have broadcasting experience from Hospital or University radio, for many this is their first time on the radio, with training given by the station.

Skyline FM is the new brand name for Skyline Community Radio.
