Radio Cabin FM

Cabin FM is Herne Bay's community station, with roots reaching back to Radio Cabin in 1970. Founded by Ed Foley, it first operated from the building housing youth facilities in Memorial Park. Early broadcasts served the Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital and Strode Park Home, establishing a local service long before its wider FM audience developed.

The station began broadcasting to the community on 94.6 FM in April 2017 and is now based at the town's Umbrella Centre. Its history also includes public-address work for local institutions and providing a home for recordings of Herne Bay's Talking Newspaper. These activities connect its broadcasting with longstanding practical support for the town.

Cabin Breakfast Club, The Morning Show, Afternoons on Cabin and Cabin Drivetime provide the daytime framework. Martin Hannay is among the breakfast voices. The presenting team includes Andy Maybourn, Bob Le-Roi, Chris Deacy, David Cloake and Gary Ziepe, bringing different experiences and musical interests into the programme.

Specialist listening includes Cabin Folk with Reg Millsom and Jazzology with Trevor Chapman and Maria Lara. Rockin the Cabin and Soul Session add further musical directions, while Cabin at the Movies brings screen-related listening into the weekend range. The Analogue Years and The Light Programme provide additional contrasts. Alongside these selections, news, events and community information keep Herne Bay at the centre of a station whose development has involved hospitals, youth facilities and local volunteers.
