Welcome to SWINDON 105.5

As Swindon's newest radio station we have a totally different concept to others in the area. Presenters, admin and technical teams are volunteers learning new skills and sharing their knowledge and experience with others, at the same time as helping provide a radio service for Swindon from its base at the County Ground..

SWINDON 105.5 is the only station local 24 hours a day - and has the most diverse range of music, from brass band to drum and bass! 

The station launched on Saturday 15th March 2008 with an initial five-year extendible licence and currently almost 100 regular volunteers, age 10 to 75, are involved regularly across each week.  As a not-for-profit company the service relies on donations, grants, fundraising and memberships. Standing Order forms are available for individuals, groups or companies... to show your support, give us a call or go to the support page.

"This is an exciting concept - and unique for the town.  We live up to our catch phrase of Daring To Be Different!  Under the key headings of Arts and Literature, Community, Education, Music, Discussion.. we are proud to be the station that likes to say Yes to ideas and to provide opportunities for innovative programming, training schemes and working within schools and communities. This is an ever-developing initiative and your comments, suggestions, ideas or support are encouraged and welcomed".
