A diverse radio for a diverse community
Diverse fm originally broadcast as an RSL (restricted broadcasting license), this continued for 6 years. In early 2007 Diverse FM gained its broadcasting license from the UK’s broadcasting watchdog Ofcom as a local Community Radio Station. The station now has a 5 years license to broadcast to the local community covering Luton, Dunstable and Houghton Regis. In April 2007 Diverse FM started broadcasting around the clock 7 days a week.
Currently most of our weekday output is non-stop music with dj presenters commencing at 18.00hrs (6pm) to midnight (please see our schedule). At weekends we have presenter lead programmes covering a wide range of musical tastes & interests.
Diverse FM welcomes local community groups to promote themselves and the work they do. The station invites groups and individuals from the local area to get involved and to take part. Diverse FM is a wonderful opportunity for every one living in and around Luton, Dunstable and Houghton Regis area to listen to your own and other local communities.
