About Sine FM
sine fm, Doncaster's first FM licensed community radio station, was launched in January 2007. We held RSL broadcasts in June 2007 and were awarded a full FM community broadcasting license by OFCOM in December 2007.
sine fm was created to provide a platform for creative expression and a distinctive, participatory and accessible community radio service to celebrate the diversity of Doncaster’s inner town wards. We also deliver worldwide internet broadcasts, a podcast service for community events, community media training opportunities for local people; and are always keen to develop partnership projects and positive business realtionships.
