BCB 106.6fm (106.6 FM) is a radio station that allows the community to get involved and record and broadcast their own programmes. Licensed to Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, the station is owned by Bradford Community Broadcasting Ltd. It is regulated by OFCOM.
It broadcasts on 106.6 mHz FM to the city of Bradford, and online as well as providing catch-up services.
Launched on local cable in 1994, the station later became one of fifteen community radio stations in the UK to start broadcasting full-time as part of a one-year trial of community radio.[1] The trials were successful and BCB has subsequently become a full-time community station and has been on air on FM continuously since the start of the original trial broadcast in 2002.
