Radio Marlow FM

Marlow FM is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit station combining music and conversation for Marlow and the surrounding area. Tim Ashburner proposed the project in 2006, followed by temporary broadcasts in 2007 and 2009. The full-time service began on 11 May 2011 from its original Longridge studios, developing into a local platform for residents, organisations and events.

Good Morning Marlow explores subjects ranging from food and riverside life to fitness, leisure, books and art. Its regular contributors include Abi Morris, Angie Burns, Carla Delaney, Chris Zaremba and Sheila Docker. Different presenters bring their own interests to the programme, with questions and requests from listeners helping shape the conversation.

Sheila Docker and Laura Parker also host The Business Show, inviting expert guests to discuss business news and ideas. The discussion can include a Marlow perspective, but is not restricted to the town. Music specialists take the station in other directions: Paul Mansell's World Folk Show connects traditional and contemporary music from different continents with acoustic roots, Americana and folk rock. Northern Soul, reggae, musicals and decade-based Afternoon Gold programmes add further variety.

Marlow FM regularly broadcasts from events in the town. Its mobile studio appeared at the Marlow Town Regatta and Festival in 2026, continuing that connection between the studio and public gatherings. Local news, travel and weather accompany the programmes, while opportunities for younger contributors and links with education form part of its community purpose. The service combines everyday town information with the knowledge and musical interests of the people making it.
