Info
shmuFM broadcasts a variety of issue-based, music and community radio programming. Volunteers and partner organisations from the regeneration areas are offered full training & support in order to produce and present their own radio programmes.
History
shmuFM first started in 2003 when a pilot radio project was developed that created four magazine shows broadcast citywide on MEfm (Multi Ethnic radio). A radio working group made up of local volunteers was formed to support the development of a community station. A space was found to house a radio studio, in the heart of the regeneration area of Woodside, and resources secured from the Scottish Executive to procure equipment. The studio was fully operational by July 2005, using the Internet as a broadcasting platform. In 2007 shmuFM won a license from Ofcom to broadcast.
