ALL FM 96.9 is a fantastic community radio station serving Central, South and East Manchester and has been doing so for 15 years. Like most community radio stations it not only provides an incredibly diverse range of programming that reaches the parts even Aunty BBC can’t reach. It also provides fantastic training and skills for local people in all aspects of radio presentation and production. That can make a real difference to people’s lives – not only do they get valuable IT, social and creative skills it also helps build up self confidence and self esteem…nothing quite beats having to speak to Manchester when the red light goes on!. I’m posting this here because, myself included, there are at least 3 All FM DJs among the Afterword massive (it’s the station that brings you Charity Shop Classics) so it seems only right I give our 15th anniversary celerbations a plug. If anyone fancies donating a few quid toward keeping us on air then click here! http://allfm.org/fundraiser
Also, if you have a Manchester based business or know someone who has and fancies some very reasonable radio advertising to reach 15,000 regular listeners then go here! http://allfm.org/advertising
Check the video to see what we’re all about…a million miles from the world of Chris Moyles and Simon Bates…THIS is Radio:

You can stream live at http://allfm.org/ although I think the live feed is down at the moment.
You can listen again to various shows on mixcloud just search the tag AllFm.
The one with myself and our own Gavin Hogg and SimonG regularly present is this one:

Loving your work Dr V. I too haunt a community radio station, in the Glasgow suburbs. You’re right about all of that but you sound way more organised than we are. We recently got some very positive feedback from some awkward youngsters who’ve just blossomed under our wing and it made me beam.
It’s a very noble pursuit and, if you love being able to talk incessantly about music and play all the stuff you like on occasion, it’s simply the best fun! ❤️

@todayoutof10 Thanks I’ve only just read this – it may look like a slick, highly polished organisation but in fact the station is held together with sellotape and string, is run out of premises which resemble the house The Young Ones lived in and survives largely on love! – it is indeed the best fun and unlike the vast majority of commercial radio (and the BBC) we can play whatever we want which is brilliant, and it also has super-local content and broadcasts in different languages and for all ages which reaches the parts only Community Radio can reach . Keep fighting the good fight.
