This morning, a new regional radio station was launched in the Kilmassie region of Astholm.

106.4 Star FM was launched this morning at 8am, and its launch was a brilliant success. We also transmit on 106.5 - 106.8 FM as well to provide additional coverage.

106.8 Star FM for West Braughton and Gilvenington takes over from the old 106.8 SGRF FM licence, and is local only on breakfast (5am-10am) and drivetime (2pm-7pm), with all shows shared with 106.4 FM.

Currently its transmitter covers all of Astholm, but we are looking to expand to outside of Astholm to increase coverage.
