CRFM's remarkable growth story continues to captivate and inspire. The community radio station, broadcasting on 102.7 FM in Carlisle, has achieved an impressive milestone in just a few months since its launch. With 44,000 listeners every 13 weeks, CRFM is clearly resonating with its audience. But what makes this even more fascinating is the depth of engagement. In just one month, listeners spent over 3.18 million hours with CRFM, averaging almost 800,000 monthly listening hours. This is a testament to the station's unique appeal and the dedication of its team. What's truly remarkable is the impact CRFM is having beyond its broadcast reach. The station's commitment to community engagement is evident in the stories of volunteers who have grown in confidence, developed new skills, and even secured opportunities with the BBC. This is the essence of community radio, and CRFM is leading the way. As CRFM expands its reach into West Cumbria with an FM transmitter, it's clear that the station's mission to connect with rural communities is a powerful one. The station's ability to engage and empower its listeners is a shining example of the potential of community radio. The future looks bright for CRFM, and its success story will undoubtedly continue to inspire and engage its dedicated audience.
