Ofcom considered Celtic Music Radio’s community radio licence application which was lodged in February 2012 as part of the Ofcom Round 3 of Community Radio Licensing in Scotland.

Celtic Music Radio was launched in January 2008 at the start of Celtic Connections 2008 broadcasting on 1530 AM/MW as there were no usable or available FM frequencies in the Glasgow area, so rather than not provide a service, Celtic Music Radio accepted the licence to broadcast on the AM medium waveband.

It will be a while before our programme service will be available on an FM frequency, so keep up-to-date with developments by checking out our website http://www.celticmusicradio.net , or via our newsletter, or by tuning in online and on 1530kHz around Glasgow.

Also, congratulations to Camglen radio (cambuslang/rutherglen) and Sound of Mull Radio (Mull/Iona) who also received good news from Ofcom today.
