About

Kane FM has organically evolved from being a pirate radio station to its present legal status of a not-for-profit Community Radio Station based in Guildford and broadcasting the surrounding area via 103.7FM and through the internet stream; it is also available on ipad and iphone.

Kane is only the third pirate station in the UK to gain legal status through OFCOM. The original artists have worked tirelessly over a period of about 12 years to reach the stage Kane is at today. During that time they have recruited approximately 120 volunteers that enthusiastically give up their time to make the radio station work. About 25% of those volunteers are presently unemployed and Kane is giving them opportunities they would otherwise not have.

They have also worked together to put on numerous events to raise the profile of the station and prove its worth as a radio station. They have been supported by Guildford Borough Council and other local agencies and have obtained Lottery Funding and local funding to set up and start broadcasting.

Kane FM is about underground bass music that is not presently aired on other local stations.
