Cannock Chase Radio launched on FM on 30 March 2018 with 89.6 MHz being used in Rugeley and 94.0 MHz in Cannock. The station started broadcasting on 89.8 MHz in November 2020 to Burntwood, Lichfield and Brownhills.

History

Cannock Chase Radio was created by Rob, Jane, and James Hughes, who felt that the area needed a radio station of its own. Many radio stations cover the area, but they felt that the Cannock Chase District was overlooked in terms of radio. Therefore, the trio decided to launch a radio station dedicated exclusively to the area.

During September and October 2014, premises were found in Kingston Court Cannock, opposite the Electric Palace Cinema. [1] The station has since moved to premises in Bridgtown, Cannock.

Manx Radio is the national commercial radio station for the Isle of Man. It began broadcasting on 29 June 1964, almost ten years before legal commercial radio was licensed in the United Kingdom. The Isle of Man, having its own government and laws, was not subject to the rules prohibiting commercial broadcasting in the UK. However, the Manx Government still had to apply to the UK's General Post Office for a frequency and for permission to broadcast. First requested in 1960, a licence was eventually granted in May 1964. It was allocated an FM frequency of 89.0 MHz and a comparatively low power of 50 watts. In October 1964, an additional frequency of 1594 kHz AM was allocated to the station to provide greater coverage, although again at a limited power of 50 watts. It broadcasts primarily in English with several hours per week of Manx language programming.
