About Us
On 107.9 FM, we are the community local radio station for the Isles of
Scilly. We're proud to be a part of the community we serve and aim to
inform and entertain.
The station has gone through a rocky period over the last few years.
The current directors joined in 2019 and are working hard to address
some of the technical problems that have cropped up in the last couple
of years. The station had also begun to sound a bit tired and lacklustre.
It was decided that a re-brand would be a pivotal part of changing the
perception of the station, along with several other changes. From the
31st January 2020, as well as a new station name, we have a new website,
new jingles and have also welcomed some of the earlier Radio Scilly
presenters back to the on-air team, so you'll
be re-acquainted with old friends along with some new voices. We are
still broadcasting from the same studio at Porthmellon, and continue to
be licenced and regulated by Ofcom, the UK Government's communications
regulatory body.
Our presenters are all volunteers, generously giving their time to bring
some unique programmes. With their enthusiasm, we hope to discuss
stimulating topics, keep you informed on local matters, and provide a
platform for the musicians, artists, writers and creatives who share the
same love of these beautiful, unique Islands.
Islands FM is a not-for-profit radio station, and is grateful to those
business who choose to advertise with us. Without them, we would be
unable to continue to grow and improve. We hope you will do your best
to patronise them and let them know you heard their advert on Islands FM!
