Forge FM was a youth-led community radio station and educational charity in Sheffield in the 1990s. Run by volunteers, the station brought together a wide range of specialist music shows and speech-based programming with the aim of involving all members of the community, the first of its kind in the city. == History == Originally the Radio and TV Society (RTVS) formed in 1991 at the Sheffield University Students Union (SUSU), the name Forge was chosen through a competition prior to the first 28-day RSL broadcast in October 1992. A second broadcast was made from the Union in October 1993.〔Darts, Sheffield University Students’ Newspaper 1991 to 1994 Bib Id 949986 〕 In 1994 the Student Union withdrew their support following reports that Forge’s activities were no longer student orientated. The organisation moved to a new home in Sheffield’s Cultural Industries Quarter.〔Darts Issue 665 2 Nov 1994 Bib Id 949986 〕 Forge was now an independent entity comprising a registered educational charity (Forge FM, charity number 1039396)〔http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/ShowCharity/RegisterOfCharities/RemovedCharityMain.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=1039396&SubsidiaryNumber=0 〕 and a registered company (02825116 Forge FM Trading Ltd).〔http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/ba39a205fe41bc9037bc5aeeb7752e18/compdetails〕 Funding from grants was used to run a series of courses in radio production. The long-term goal of the organisation was to become a full-time community radio station for Sheffield.〔Sheffield City Press Vol XIII Issue 1 6 Oct- 19 Oct 1994〕 Forge continued to produce annual 28-day broadcasts and also collaborated with the Northern Media School at Sheffield Hallam University to produce broadcasts for the Sheffield Children’s Festival as Festival FM.
