Redstone FM was a local, DAB-only radio station covering most of the region encompassing Surrey, Sussex, Crawley and South London, principally focused on Croydon.

Based in Redhill, the station went on the air on December 16th, 2013. Broadcasting ceased in September of 2015.

History

Redstone FM was created in 2005. It ran six short-term restricted service licenses on FM radio, which served the towns of Redhill and Reigate.

Set up as a community group, the not-for-profit company applied for a community radio license in 2011, but lost out to Susy Radio 103.4.

Since that time (and the award of a DAB license by Ofcom ), its parent company "MuxCo" Surrey & Sussex Ltd shut them down for unspecified reasons. Although no specific mention of Redstone FM is mentioned, Ofcom’s head of Spectrum Enforcement, Clive Corrie, told The Guardian in 2015 that stations were often shut down because they “interfere with vital radio communications used by the emergency services and aircraft systems, and frequently cause damage to property”.^[1]
