Low Power AM Stations in the United Kingdom
All these stations are licensed to broadcast in the United Kingdom by OFCOM with a max E.M.R.P of 1 Watt or less. Some student stations only broadcast during term time, and may radiate a blank carrier or go off air at other times. Clicking on the station name in most cases will bring up a map of the exact transmitter location. Short term RSL's are now listed as well.
Where this icon is displayed a short MP3 audio clip is available to listen to. More clips will be added shortly.
A list of football clubs that broadcast their home matches can be found here.
This site may disagree with the OFCOM site and other listings, but the contents are believed to be correct and up to date. Please contact us if you have further information.
