[edit] Station information
Moray Firth Radio or MFR is an Independent Local Radio station that is based in the Scorguie area of Inverness in Scotland, broadcasting to the communities in the surrounding region north to The Highlands, Wick, Thurso and Orkney, and east to The Moray Coast, Fraserburgh, and parts of north west Aberdeenshire. It is part of the Big City Network.
Since 15th September 2008, MFR, along with all other Big City Network stations in Scotland air networked programming from 10pm to 6am, which are produced by Clyde 1 in Glasgow. Unlike the Other Big city Network stations the network programming starts at 10pm (rather than 7pm everywhere else).
The station broadcasts on 97.4 MHz FM from Mounteagle, and is one of the few remaining UK local FM stations that also broadcasts on AM (on 1107 kHz).
In addition there are several local relay stations, that broadcast local programmes during the evening. They are:
- Speysound (96.6 MHz, Strathspey)
- Keith Community Radio (102.8 MHz, Keith)
- Kinnaird Radio (96.7 MHz, Fraserburgh)
- Caithness FM (102.5 MHz, Caithness).
[edit] News, Sport and Traffic & Travel
