Farnborough Airshow Radio is the official radio station of the Farnborough International Airshow, and has been part of the airshow's official media outlets for over a decade. The station is run by staff and students from the nearby Farnborough College of Technology, as well as industry professionals from the BBC, UKRD, and Sky
The station is overseen by Farnborough International Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of British aerospace industry's body the Society of British Aerospace Companies (SBAC). Running for the duration of the seven-day international trade fair, (and for the prior 'validation week'), it is broadcast to the Surrey and North East Hampshire area of England on 106.8 FM, and online.
The first radio station was set-up to coincide with the September 1996 show, in partnership with Farnborough College of Technology, and County Sound Radio, a commercial radio station covering Surrey and North East Hampshire. From 2000 the radio station was under the control of the College's media department, led by broadcaster Fred Marden. The station works closely with Flight International and the Flight Daily News, and often features guest presenters from both publications. Other notable interviewees include the Red Arrows, MP Gerald Howarth, Trevor Brooking, and the late Neville Duke.
