FM Radio

The simplest way to listen if you are in Oldham or immediate surrounding areas is via FM radio

We broadcast on 99.7MHz FM to the majority of the Oldham borough and many surrounding areas.

The vast majority of radio sets can pick up our radio broadcasts on the FM Band (most modern ‘digital radio’ sets also have a FM receiver as well – look for a button labelled ‘FM’. If you’ve one of the original DAB only or some sort of vintage “wireless set” from a bygone era with just long and medium wave you’ll have to look for a different radio.)

Smart Speakers and Devices

Next simple way to listen anywhere if you have got an Amazon, Google or Apple device that lets you talk to it? Try saying one of these:

  • “Alexa, Play Oldham Community Radio”
  • “Okay Google, Play Oldham Community Radio”
  • “Hey Siri, Play Oldham Community Radio”

Got some other voice activated device? There’s a good chance that just asking it to “Play Oldham Community Radio” will work. If so let us know!
