Môn FM is a bilingual community radio station serving Anglesey. The station broadcasts from studios in Llangefni town centre on 102.5 FM and online via the station's website.
MônFM broadcasts around 80 hours a week of locally-oriented music and speech programming in English and Welsh, including local news, current affairs, sports, specialist music shows and events coverage.
The station airs hourly national news bulletins produced by Sky News Radio in London 24 hours a day with local news bulletins airing on weekday afternoons. Apart from Sky News bulletins, all of MônFM's programming is produced and presented from its Llangefni studios by volunteers.
After an RSL transmission in March 2012 for the Llangefni area,[1] the station continued to produce online output before being granted a full-time licence in August 2013, allowing MônFM to broadcast across most of the island via a transmitter link at Gwalchmai.[2] The station's FM signal also extends to cover large parts of north Gwynedd on the mainland.
Full-time broadcasting on 102.5 FM and online began at 8am on Saturday 12 July 2014.
