Channel Islands

PART OF ISLAND LIFE FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS

Channel 103 and Island FM began broadcasting in 1992 before being acquired by the Tindle Group in 1998.

To this day, the stations remain a trusted part of the local community with on and off-air activities to benefit the Channel Islands.

Both stations started broadcasting on DAB+ digital radio in 2021, along with our new easy-listening station, Soleil Radio.

Channel 103 and Island FM broadcasts local programming around the clock from our studios in Jersey and Guernsey.

They are the only stations producing local programming for each island 24/7, with no shared programmes.

We’re the home of local voices with hourly news bulletins for each island – as well as waking up with James Bentley, Peter Mac and Liam Cash.

Thousands of Channel Islands businesses are already harnessing the power of the islands’ biggest radio stations.

Channel 103 and Island FM serve the Channel Islands, reaching 80,000 people every week across Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Herm and Sark.

Both stations are the market leaders in their islands, delivering the highest local reach and share percentages anywhere in the British Isles.
