Story
WE NEED YOU!
BCfm Radio has been serving the City of Bristol for 10 years, providing a platform and a voice for those who need it most. Now WE need You.
BCfm is a charity and receives no core funding. The whole station is ran by volunteers, including the management and the board of directors. Unfortunately, we are struggling to pay our bills and keep the station facilities up to date, whilst keeping our broadcast services at a high level.
If we can not raise at least £10,000 this year, we're unsure that we will continue broadcasting for another 10 years.
BCfm is an important part of Bristol life! We're here to inform, educate and entertain the people of Bristol, with an ethos of diversity and inclusivity.
We’re particularly proud of serving, and involving, those under-represented by the mainstream media, including diverse, hard-to-reach and sometimes disadvantaged communities. For them we offer support, companionship and, most importantly, a voice. We also provide invaluable experience and training for our volunteers.
If you have ever been a part of BCfm or been support by BCfm, whether that's through an interview or your music being played, or you're a listener who enjoys our output. Please DONATE NOW.
From our inner-city studios, we deliver an unmatched coverage of local arts, culture, politics, current affairs and sport, whilst not shying away from difficult issues and regularly holding local institutions to account.
This quality and scope of programming has seen the station become one of Bristol’s most respected media outlets, often setting the agenda for news and breaking stories, and becoming the recipient of local and national awards.
BCfm is the ONLY community station to win TWO Sony Gold Radio Academy Awards.
BCfm is a registered charity and entirely run by volunteers who, freely giving their time and skills, share a passion for both radio and the city they broadcast to.
