Forest of Dean Radio is a community radio station in Gloucestershire. It was set up in 1995 and started with a 3 day broadcast to coincide with the Cinderford Carnival. It now broadcasts around the whole of the Forest of Dean Area from its main studio, which remains in Cinderford.

Initially the station was broadcasting using a Restricted Service Licence. This is costly and meant the station could only broadcast for a few days a week, usually at weekends, over varying FM frequencies.

Full Time licence

In 2002, Forest of Dean Radio was awarded an Access Radio Licence which has allowed the station to broadcast 7 days a week on a fixed Medium Wave frequency.

The Forest of Dean Radio now regularly broadcasts from satellite stations around the Forest of Dean including Coleford, Lydney and Newent.

Shows include the really popular sunday afternoon show Fresh Hits with Ryan Davies & Justin & Phils acoustic sessions [http://www.btpodshow.com/showguide/?key_id=13463&feed_type=pdn] .
