The Oban FM group was founded in 1972 by Andy Campbell and Tom Laurenson, working with a group of able volunteers who achieved much in a short time. Two short spells of broadcasting (RSLs) one in 1992 and one in 1995 paved the way for an application to the Radio Authority for a full time licence. The Oban FM group won, against competition, in March 96, and Oban FM was on the air on July 15th, 1996. Oban FM has just renewed its 7 year licence, which will enable us to continue serving and supporting the Oban and North Argyll community until 2010. Oban FM broadcasts daily from 8am to mid day, and in the evenings from around 5pm. Outwith these hours, the station carries Clyde 2 from Radio Clyde in Glasgow. Oban FM is entirely independent of Radio Clyde, but gratefully acknowledges the help and ongoing support provided by Radio Clyde from the early days of preparing our application and since. Oban FM programmes are produced by our volunteers, and the diversity of these programmes reflects the diversity of interests within the community. The list includes Scottish country dance music and the classics, jazz and current pop, celtic rock and big band sounds.
