Sheffield Live
About the Radio Station
Sheffield Live! is a vibrant community radio and local TV station that serves the South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire regions of the United Kingdom. Originally established in 2003 as an independent company by the Community Media Association, Sheffield Live! is currently owned by Sheffield Community Media (Commedia Sheffield) and Sheffield Local Television, both of which are companies limited by guarantee. Sheffield Live! began its journey by operating a live streaming service on an annual Restricted Service Licence in 2000, and from 2002, it was broadcasting regularly for four days a week online. The station started broadcasting on the frequency 93.2 FM on 29 October 2007, and the last time a new radio service had launched in Sheffield before this was Hallam FM in October 1974. The station was launched to provide original programming by local people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. The station uses a transmitter at Crosspool, shared by other local radio stations provided by Bauer Radio and the BBC, allowing coverage as far as Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley, and Chesterfield. Its studios are located at 15 Paternoster Row in central Sheffield above the Showroom Cinema.
