Amber Sound FM

Amber Sound FM has a rich history deeply rooted in the Amber Valley community. Originating from the pioneering efforts of Valley Radio in 1994, the station evolved through various iterations, including Amber Sound FM and Amber FM, before uniting under the current banner in 2007.

Driven by a passion to serve the underserved local area, the station secured its Ofcom licence in 2008. Committed to local engagement, Amber Sound FM has featured community-driven shows like the ‘Teatime Takeover’ and continues to provide local news, information, and music, solidifying its role as a vital voice for the Amber Valley.

Amber Sound FM has always aimed to involve the community at every level. The station encourages local people — young and old — to take part, whether that’s presenting shows or helping behind the scenes. It remains proudly managed by Chris Knight, who has overseen its growth since launch.
