Endeavour FM is a local community radio station covering the area of Boston, Lincolnshire in England. Previously the station had been called Endeavour Online and Stump Radio, set up as a collaboration between Blackfriars Arts Centre and Tulip Radio which first started broadcasting in 2006 and returned yearly on a 28-day RSL until 2008. The station's name comes from HMS Endeavour, a ship of historical importance to Boston.[ citation needed ]

Endeavour FM has broadcast intermittently on FM with a community licence, and full-time on the Internet [1] Until mid-2011, the studios were in the Boston Enterprise Centre at Wyberton Fen, before moving to a smaller 'stopgap' studio at Church Street. After a short return to the Boston Enterprise Centre, the station moved into a custom-built studio off London Road. The team then moved into the Black Sluice Lock Cottages, just before Christmas in 2018. [2]

The station has live programming from 7am - 11pm daily. Specialist interest shows are aired daily from 7pm, including reggae, rock, 1980's and dance. [3]

The station was affected by the 2013 floods, but stayed on air as long as technically possible, providing public information and official advice. [5]

Endeavour FM's media projects have involved a local youth magazine, audio packages for businesses, media courses, a local online business directory and live events. [6]
