Phonic FM

Phonic FM hit the airways in February 2008 when it began broadcasting during Exeter’s annual Vibraphonic festival. Phonic FM evolved out of a radio station set up five years ago called Vibraphonic FM that broadcast for one month each year to support the annual Vibraphonic festival. The output of Phonic FM is largely music, both live and recorded, focusing on those tunes and genres you won’t often hear on mainstream radio. Phonic FM is charged with supporting the arts (in the widest sense) in and around the Exeter area, and with encouraging innovation and participation. Phonic FM has only been on the airwaves a short time but once it has got to grips with its music output the speech lead broadcasting will increase. Phonic FM is committed to encouraging participation with its broadcasts (see the Skills page for more information) and is always seeking new approaches to both content and output. Phonic FM also has a growing relationship with the Sound Gallery studio which is based near the Phonic FM studio and has the facility to broadcast musicians ‘live’ or ‘as live’. Phonic FM has a five-year license to broadcast on 106.8 FM within a five-kilometre radius of Exeter from its studios at Exeter Phoenix. The Phonic FM website supports all aspects of the stations output. It has an up to date schedule so you can see when your favourite shows are being broadcast along with presenter and show profiles. The website also has comprehensive news and features sections letting you know about all the important happenings within Phonic FM.
