NE1fm

NE1fm is an FM community radio station based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. Launched in 2007, the station broadcasts 24 hours a day on 102.5 FM, and online via its website. The station is owned by CBIT (Community Broadcast Initiative Tyneside Ltd) and ran on a not-for-profit basis. NE1fm is operated entirely by volunteers. NE1fm was awarded a five-year community broadcast licence by Ofcom in 2006, which has since been extended to 2017.

NE1fm carries a wide variety of content, catering for both mainstream and niche musical genres, and also broadcasts interviews, hourly news updates, and sports, talk and comedy-based shows. NE1fm has broadcast more than 100 different shows during its time on-air, including enabling members of the local community to present as part of its open access programming. The station also broadcasts from musical and other events in the local area, promotes local bands, and highlights community issues on a regular basis.

NE1fm's name is a play on the postcode district NE1, which covers Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in addition to the station's community radio status where "anyone" can broadcast or help out with the station's off-air operation.
