Caroline Community Radio 94.7 FM

The area around the Ross Revenge was served by community station Saint FM. The operators gave it their best shot for many years and gained a licence to broadcast to Maldon as well as their original area of Burnham and closed down to reorganise. They then concluded that they did not have the ability to start transmissions again without support and sought the help of Radio Caroline who have assisted the project.

Caroline Community Radio will have a power of 200W, unlike the 25W used before, and the voices you may hear will be Ray Clark, Peter Phillips, Johnny Lewis and Graham Bannerman among others. Radio Caroline owns all the broadcast and other equipment previously owned by Saint. This was such an extensive inventory that Pete Crisp and Peter Moore were able to build the studio seen here, with plenty of items left over. Since this is not a 100% Caroline project it seemed unreasonable that Radio Caroline should fund all costs. The start-up costs have been covered personally by Ray Clark, Peter Phillips, Peter Moore and a range of local firms and individuals. Surplus equipment will be used on the Ross and elsewhere or sold to recoup Caroline's expenditure.

Thereafter this station will be expected to self fund from grants and commercial advertising. Radio Caroline's advertisers will be carried at no charge on 94.7.
