10 Radio is the community radio station for the Ten Parishes of Ashbrittle, Bathealton, Brompton Ralph, Chipstable, Clatworthy, Fitzhead, Huish Champflower, Milverton, Stawley and Wiveliscombe in Somerset. It broadcasts 24 hours a day from studios in Wiveliscombe and serves listeners across the local area on 105.3 FM and online.
According to the station’s official About page, 10 Radio is entirely owned and run voluntarily by the local community. That community model is central to the station’s identity and helps explain why its output feels local, varied and closely tied to everyday life in and around Wiveliscombe.
Programming includes weekday breakfast shows, evening music programmes, comedy, talk and specialist output across the week. The station says it aims to provide a distinctive mix of news, information, discussion, drama, comedy and music with a clear focus on the local area.
10 Radio began life in 2004, launched a first month of broadcasts in 2005, and went on to secure its community radio licence before starting full-time broadcasting in January 2008. That long-running local presence gives the station real depth as a Somerset community broadcaster rather than just another online stream.

- Andy Walker: Hosts The Andy Walker Show, described by the station as a mix of local news, music, sport and comedy.
