One of the best things about FromeFM is the huge range of different programmes we produce. This means our listeners represent a wide spectrum of the local demographic.

  • We also help customers make podcasts for their websites and if they wish, which can also be broadcast on Frome FM. Many programme-makers air their shows to support their social media and website projects. Examples include:
  • Cooper and Tanner – weekly podcasts on auctions and related matters.

FromeFM’s ‘Listen Again’streaming service is now hosted by Mixcloud.
