Eden FM is a community radio station serving Penrith and the Eden Valley in Cumbria.
The campaign for a local station was launched in June 2010 and studios were switched on in November 2011.[1]
Run by volunteers, the Non-profit organisation, recently applied to Ofcom for a full-time community radio licence on an FM frequency in the community radio licensing: third round for the North East of England and Cumbria.[2]
Currently broadcasting full-time online, the station has completed three 28 day restricted service licence broadcasts in November - December 2011, followed by a couple more in June - July 2012 and November - December 2012.[3]
With application submitted in January 2013, Eden FM is now waiting to hear if its campaign has been successful.[4]
Local towns and villages covered by Eden FM Radio include Penrith, Appleby-in-Westmorland, Langwathby, Greystoke, Shap, Skelton and Melmerby.
