Radio Frome FM

Frome FM is a non-profit community broadcaster operated by Frome Community Productions CIC in Somerset. Its members produce specialist music programmes, local discussion and coverage of organisations working in the town. The members' contrasting interests are reflected in an eclectic schedule, with music and conversation shaped by individual programme-makers.

Jazz Footprints and Classical Performance sit alongside rock, electronic music, folk and other specialist selections. Programmes also explore conversation and local subjects, with Frome-focused debates and news forming part of the station's stated purpose. Its support for community groups extends beyond occasional announcements to sustained attention to their activities.

Azhaar's Jazz Footprints traces jazz across countries and styles, while Developing Frome examines planning questions in and around the town. Russell Willsmer and Lisa Rendell present the conversational In Focus. Michael Ormiston brings an international musical perspective informed by his work with Mongolian overtone singing, and Jenn Garner contributes The Disco Dive. F Club draws on the independent spirit of punk and post-punk, demonstrating how sharply one member's selection can differ from the next.

Membership, local sponsorship and donations help sustain the service. People can contribute as presenters or support the organisation in other roles, bringing their own experience into the work. Frome FM's distinctive feature is this member-produced variety, connecting the town's cultural interests and voluntary life with a broad range of music and speech.
