Penistone FM - Community Radio Station

A Radio Station for Penistone and the World
No tour of Penistone is complete without Penistone FM radio station, which is right in the middle of Penistone. It is an important local asset and aims to be right at the heart of the community in every sense.

I don't have a connection with PFM other than to lend them my enthusiasm and pass a few web-surfers their way. They have been friendly enough to keep me informed and make me feel welcome.

Penistone FM is now a global internet music station, receivable everywhere in the civilised world. Their website has 'all that you need to know', with the programme schedule and pictures of the presenters. This section of Penistone Pictorial has 'all that you don't need to know'.

Open Day
Here are some pictures from PFM Open Day, January 2010. Andrew Millner acted as tour guide and explained in depth how the station and its equipment worked. The first two pictures show Andrew in full flow. Their radio engineer (just visible, left of first picture) was also very helpful in explaining the finer technical details. The third picture shows 'Myriad' software, used to organise play order. The last picture is of 'Cuddly' Colin Geldard doing his show during the Open Day visits. Many thanks to all concerned.

Contact
PFM welcomes listener feedback, music requests, quiz replies, community news items, jobs news, travel delay reports and enquiries from advertisers and sponsors. None of the volunteers make money out of Penistone FM but the station has its running costs so I'm sure that they would welcome generous donations and bequests.
