It transmits on 107.4FM from a site in Chesham Bois and also on an Internet stream; broadcasting an adult contemporary music format.
History
[edit]Chiltern Voice started[2] in February 2016 as short-term Restricted Service Licence (RSL), broadcasting on 87.9FM using a temporary studio built at Chesham United F.C. and initially funded by a combination of grants from the Buckinghamshire Community Boards alongside commercial advertising and sponsorship.[3]
Following the first RSL the station moved to a permanent home within the White Hill Centre in Chesham operating as an Internet Radio station.
This was followed in August 2018 by a second 15-day period of broadcasting on 87.9FM under a Restricted Service Licence.[4]
In January 2020 Ofcom granted Chiltern Voice[5] a full-time community radio station licence.[6] and began broadcasting on 107.4 MHz on 29 November 2021.
In December 2022, following an agreement with All Spring Media (also a CIC), the station moved into their current studios in Bellingdon Road, Chesham.
