Radio 106.9 SFM

SFM is Sittingbourne's community radio station, combining music with news, discussion and practical information for the Kent town. Operated by Sittingbourne Community Radio Limited, it describes its daytime selection as familiar adult-oriented records from the 1960s onwards, alongside current releases. Local speech and specialist programmes broaden the service beyond that general music mix.

James Waters presents breakfast, with Phil Still contributing Early Breakfast. Angela Maybourne's Golden Years revisits earlier music, and Dan Davis presents In the Bourne, a programme in which local guests and community discussion have a central place. Andrew Pitney hosts the afternoon show. Decade Roulette changes the musical period under the spotlight, while Bradley Jacobs's Friday Night Floorfillers takes a more dance-oriented direction and Erik Lesley presents The Late Show.

The station's community remit includes sport, business, arts, education, health and consumer issues. It also makes room for discussion of Sittingbourne's development and subjects affecting young people and local families. Its events coverage ranges from theatre productions to community meals, walking groups and activities at the Swallows Leisure Centre, reflecting everyday opportunities to meet and take part locally.

SFM's stated programme range includes specialist R&B, hip-hop, dance, garage, Northern Soul, country and rock. Local groups can contribute their concerns and activities, and the station offers training in presentation and other radio skills. Connections with schools, businesses, police and local organisations support a service intended to reflect Sittingbourne's identity through both records and the voices of its residents.
