Hayes FM (91.8 FM) is a local radio station based in Hayes, West London, England.
In 2002, the borough constituency Hayes and Harlington undertook an extensive public consultation exercise to look at ways local groups and organisations could engage more fully with local people. The public consultations concluded that current mechanisms of dissipating information were not always working. Radio was put forward as one tool that could effectively provide a platform for local people to engage with each other at a more local level, and that should be complemented with a strong training and development programme for people wishing to pursue a career in broadacst media.
Hayes FM was born out of an initiative between Sutish Sharma, who at that time was working for the BBC and local MP John McDonnell. [1]
In 2003, Hayes FM undertook a Restricted Service Licence RSL for one month.
In 2004, Hayes FM developed accredited training courses and in November of that year submitted an application to Ofcom for a local radio licence.
Hayes FM was awarded a radio operators licence in 2006 and started broadcasting on the 1st September 2007.
