Our History
The Community Radio station now known as Seymour FM came about because of two “good ideas”.
The first “good idea” was the formation of a group called “The Seymour We Want”. As the name suggests, this group gathered together ideas and proposals that aimed at improving the civic and social amenity of the town.
The second “good idea” came from the first – a community radio station.
