Mearns FM is a community run radio station 〔http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/radiolicensing/Community/commitments/cr134.pdf〕 based in the North East of Scotland. There are transmitters in Laurencekirk, Inverbervie and Stonehaven leading to a coverage area stretching from St Cyrus to Newtonhill. The studio is located in Stonehaven Town Hall. ==History== The station began as Stonehaven Community Radio well over a decade ago.〔(History of Mearns FM (archive) )〕 After a break the group reformed as Mearns FM which started broadcasting in the summer of 2009. Community Radio in the Mearns began in 1993 following a visit to North East Community Radio by some members of the Stonehaven Community Centre Management Committee. A steering group was formed and Stonehaven Community Radio was formed. It transmitted for the first time during July 1994 from the old primary school toilet block in Stonehaven Community Centre. At that time community stations could only operate for 28 days at a time. In 2004 five year community radio licences were introduced and a few enthusiasts decided to call a meeting. Around 30 people turned and up and a small group was formed to take the project forward. A draft constitution was adopted at the first AGM which was held in the late Summer of 2005. The project was delayed because a round of broadcasting applications had just closed and Ofcom, the regulating authority, did not invite new applications until the late autumn of 2006. It was necessary for the organisation to become a Company Limited by Guarantee and a registered charity. The committee originally planned the station to be named Stonehaven Community Radio but it was decided to become Mearns wide and be called Mearns FM. Because of the large geographical area of the Mearns the station applied for three transmitters which Ofcom subsequently agreed to and a licence was issued in early July 2007. 6 June. 2009 was chosen for the station's launch as it coincided with the annual Stonehaven Feein' Market. At 11am the station was officially opened by the local MP, Sir Robert Smith. Mearns FM was granted a 5 year license extension in 2014. ==Programmes== Mearns FM broadcast a wide variety of music from the 1960s to present day hits. *Anything Goes - Papa G *Folk & Country Jamboree - Stewart Campbell *Coffee Time - Raymond Christie *Monday Drivetime - Ayliean MacDonald *Mearns Magazine - Ian Hunter *Friday Drivetime - Paul Hazelle *Finn and Nick - Ready for the weekend *Kristine Buchanan – The Lone Star Show *Non Stop 80s! *Total Recall - Chris Tibbles *Mearns Memories - Ray Milne *Escape - Raymond Christie *Saturday Breakfast Show - Nigel Griffiths *The Mid-week Drive - Gavin Harper *The Great British Chart -Ruairidh Tait *First Ministers Question Time - Charles Fletcher *Mackie Academy Radio *Lathallan School Broadcasts *Emoviebox with Paul Baker *Local Church Service's *Andy's Red Train Express *Friday Night with David Fotheringham *popFUTURE *Late Night Saturday Show - Chris Deans *Faith Matters - Louisa Greenwell & Margaret Hodder *Mod n Soul Radio Show - Billy Styles *Spirit Of Rock - Andy Mead *Mellow Moments - Andy Saunders *Monday Night Social - Billy Styles *Just my cup of tea - Carol Dalman *The Eurovision Show -Tommy Ferguson *The Eurovision Show Part Deux - Tommy Ferguson *“3 M’s show” - David Graham – *Care in the community - Angela Broad 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mearns FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
