Resonance104.4fm

Today – Wednesday March 4th – marks the 2500th day since Resonance FM’s explosion onto London’s airwaves. Resonance 104.4FM was launched on the 1st of May 2002 following a years pilot scheme of which Ofcom said the following: “The extraordinary range of musical genres outspans the output of any other radio station in the United Kingdom – and very probably in the world. While maintaining a broad editorial reach, Resonance FM has uncovered a rich, little-known stratum of avant-garde practice and made it generally accessible, without diluting the necessary ingredients of challenge, surprise, difficulty, irritation and delight. It is a genuine discovery channel.”

Resonance FM began as 1 of about 15 stations included as part of a new community radio initiative that would be distinct from commercial radio in that “the services would cover a small geographical area and be provided on a not-for-profit basis focusing on the delivery of specific social benefits to enrich a particular geographical community or a community of interest.” Subsequently over 130 community radio stations have been launched and Resonance FM is, quite rightly, proud to be at the epicenter.

Mark this special occasion with us by indulging in the art of listening.

This also means it is only 2 months until our 7th birthday so start saving up because we expect bronze, pottery or electrical appliances. Thanks for listening thus far.
