History
[edit | edit source]Indigo FM first went on air in March 2008 following a successful application for a 5-year broadcast licence from media watchdog Ofcom. The station broadcast on 106.6 FM. Indigo FM aimed to be a truly local community radio station for the South Lakes/North Lancashire area with local presenters, local business involvement and sponsorship and the daily promotion of local 'what's ons', charity and volunteer events. The station closed in January 2015.[1]
