Non-Profit, Ad-Free, 24/7 Independent Radio
Resonance is a broadcaster like no other.
Every month, Resonance broadcasts a pioneering, award-winning and ever-evolving schedule of 100 regular series covering all kinds of topics: music, literature, fine art, radio art, theatre, film, video-games, field recordings, climate change, social justice, finance, international development, civil rights, technology - and so much more.
Every day of the year 24 hours of original programming - entirely free of commercial influence - is broadcast and archived, with more than 34,000 programmes currently available to listen again on our Mixcloud, free to listen and ad-free, forever.
Audio UK’s “Network Of The Year”
In November 2022 Resonance won “Publisher or Network of the Year” at the Audio Production Awards:
“Highly creative, innovative, varied and engaging. This was audio of the highest quality, demonstrated through a range of formats and contributors. Resonance is a network which has... overcome major practical challenges in the last year, yet still managed to deliver industry-leading content on a... Community Radio budget"
Documenting Our Cultural History and Creative Heritage
Resonance FM is not just a broadcaster.
It is a fluid and unbroken twenty-year audio documentary of the world’s arts and a diary of our cultural history. It offers unparalleled insight - like no other radio station ever could - into how UK’s creative and cultural life has evolved, how people live and create - and underlines the essential and under-appreciated importance of the arts to public life. Our goal is to keep Resonance’s output available and make it as accessible as we can, for all. That is why we’ve made available more than 35,000 broadcasts on our Mixcloud - totally free and ad-free, forever.

Our Plans For 2023 And Beyond
The incredible collective efforts of our community of volunteers meant that our February 2023 fundraiser raised £22,500. Since then, we’ve raised a further £15,000 in donations. However as the cost of living rises, so does the cost of running our charity, particularly at a time when Resonance needs to rapidly relocate its premises and deliver the next three years of activity. If Resonance cannot raise further funds before the end of the 2023, its future is at risk.
Raising a total of £100,000 before the end of 2023 would secure Resonance’s future and enable us to:
Complete our relocation to our new, larger studio space near to Elephant & Castle, SE1.
Stay ad-free and independent and support the production of 24 hours per day of original “industry-leading” audio content across Resonance FM and Resonance EXTRA - broadcast day and night to our 1.8 million listeners.
Keep providing a platform for our broadcasters as well as other emerging producers, musicians, artists, engineers, as well as guests, and - of course - our listeners.
Keep rapidly-growing global experimental audio channel Resonance EXTRA on DAB in Brighton & Hove, Cambridge, Norwich and Greater London and online worldwide.
Preserve the more than 34,000 broadcasts archived on our Mixcloud pages, a nationally-important historical archive and a vital cultural resource.
Help maintain a bastion of independent media and a “thrillingly unpredictable racket” (Robin Ince, The Big Issue), free from outside interference and commercial influence, on DAB Digital Radio and FM - for many years to come!

Become one of 100+ regular donors
With three years Arts Council England funding secure until 2026, Resonance plans to hit the ground running and raise £100,000 in 2023 to support our activities over the next three years.
To achieve that, monthly donations will be critical. Not only can monthly giving be more convenient for supporters, it also smooths our cash flow, allows us to budget more accurately and, critically, allows us to do better work overall, over a longer period, to support the Resonance community.
