Kane 103.7 FM

Kane 103.7 FM, also known as Kane FM, is a UK local community radio station, broadcasting on FM and online across Guildford in Surrey and in the surrounding areas.

History
Kane FM started as a pirate radio station in the early 1990s. The opportunity arose in 2004 to prove the demand for the service through a Restricted Service Licence running 28 days.

It has since grown into a community radio station to benefit the youth of tomorrow. All profits generated are used to drive social gain and community cohesion. Donations can be made online via the official website. We welcome sponsors and new advertisers, please contact Kane FM through the web site.

On 24 February 2010 Ofcom awarded Kane FM with a Community Radio Licence, and the station successfully re-applied for National Lottery funding to build their new studios and office.

Kane FM officially begun broadcasting on 28 October 2011 on 103.7FM and online.
