Angel Radio Isle of Wight – Your station of nostalgia stars – will celebrate its 15th Birthday on FM on 24th March 2022
Angel Radio Isle of Wight was established on the Island in 1999, 23 years ago, broadcasting from rooms above Age Concern’s offices in Pyle Street. At that time we were broadcasting on Restricted Service Licences (RSLs) which allowed for two 28 day slots per year
Isle of Wight’s first community station on FM
In 2001 we began broadcasting on the WightCable (now WightFibre) network and moved into their premises in Love Lane in Cowes.
After a very lengthy negotiation period with OFCOM lasting eight years Angel Radio became the Isle of Wight’s first community station on FM 91.50 MHz as well as continuing on the Internet and on WightFibre.
Can now reach further afield
Although we are restricted to only 25 watts output, we were granted permission to improve our coverage range recently which allows us to reach further afield.
We have carried out the work and are now reaching even more homes. The listeners are happy to have a clearer signal and to have their beloved Angel Radio on FM with its selection of nostalgic music not heard on any other radio station.
Where to listen
Angel Radio is the Island’s first FM Community radio station and you can find us on 91.50 FM, on WightFibre and on the Internet.
Angel Radio, the Island’s most loved radio station, 91.5, keeping legends alive, playing music from 1900 to 1969.
