No live DEAD AIR :( by The Departure

Have you heard? MAINfm is currently homeless! The Old Hospital at Halford Street, our station home, has been flooded due to a burst water main - but thanks to the dedication and tenacity of our technical team, we are still on the air!

You’ll still hear DEAD AIR on the airwaves with prerecorded shows, but I won’t be live in the studio for the foreseeable future.

We are broadcasting remotely, which means you will notice disruptions to our regular programming.

Our staff and volunteers are working hard to source solutions, and we hope to find a temporary home. In the meantime, thanks for your patience and for sticking with us. We’ll be back with regular programming soon.

Check out our Instagram or Facebook for updates - and you can always listen back to old shows on MixCloud
