Revival FM

Revival FM lives broadcasting from the UK.  Revival FM began broadcasting full-time on 100.8 FM with an Ofcom Community radio license on 3 September 2006 to Cumbernauld, Kilsyth, Kirkintilloch, and around central Scotland from Falkirk to parts of Glasgow.  Revival FM is Scotland’s first full-time Christian radio service.

The story of Revival FM goes back to 1995 when a group of Christians in the Kilsyth area of then Dunbartonshire and now North Lanarkshire in central Scotland, met to discuss the possibility of broadcasting Christian radio programs under the UK Government’s new Restricted Service Licensing (RSL) scheme. This permitted a low power local radio service to air on the FM waveband for a maximum period of 28 days. Two such licenses per year could be granted with a gap of at least four months between broadcasts. The group decided to form Revival Radio Limited, a not for profit company through which application to the authorities could be made.

Revival FM is a Christian based community radio station in Scotland, operating under a Community Radio Licence. The station is located in Cumbernauld near Glasgow and commenced broadcasting on 100.8FM across west-central Scotland on 3 September 2006. An initial 5-year license was awarded by Ofcom (Office Of Communications) to permit broadcasts until September 2011. In March 2011 the station announced that this license had been extended for a further 5 years, thus taking broadcasts through until September 2016.
