  • Manchester – 96.9 FM

ALL FM is one of Manchester's best-known community radio stations, serving listeners with a schedule that reflects the city far better than a generic commercial playlist ever could. Broadcasting on 96.9 FM and online, it gives airtime to local voices, local culture and local issues, while still delivering an entertaining mix of music, conversation and specialist shows throughout the week.

What makes ALL FM different is that it is genuinely built around community participation. The station's ethos is 'by the community, for the community', and that is not just marketing fluff. Volunteers and presenters from a wide range of backgrounds help shape the output, creating a station that sounds rooted in real Manchester life rather than copied from a network template.

The programming is broad, with music, speech, culture and specialist shows that reflect the diversity of Manchester. ALL FM has also built a strong reputation for training and development, helping new contributors gain broadcasting and podcasting skills while opening the door to people who might not otherwise get a voice on radio.

For listeners, that gives ALL FM real value. It is a place to hear something local, distinctive and human. For the station itself, that community-first approach has helped it earn major recognition, including multiple National Community Radio Awards and the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service. That gives this page a strong angle against thin competitor listings, because ALL FM is not just another stream - it is a station with identity, purpose and deep Manchester roots.
