About Sunshine-Radio
Sunshine Radio is a local radio station with one of the most colourful histories in British radio. Based in Ludlow, Shropshire, it serves South Shropshire, north Herefordshire and north Worcestershire with music, local news and information, and its sister station of the same name broadcasts to Herefordshire and Monmouthshire. On this page you can listen to Sunshine Radio live online for free.
From pirate to licensed station
Sunshine Radio in Ludlow dates back to the late 1970s, when it broadcast every bank holiday weekend on medium wave. By the early 1980s it was broadcasting every weekend on 1017 kHz, and from September 1983 it was on air seven days a week, becoming one of the most successful pirate stations of the era. After years of campaigning, Sunshine finally won a licence and first aired as a legal Independent Local Radio station on 18 October 1992. In December 2007 a second Sunshine Radio launched in Hereford, serving Herefordshire and Monmouthshire. Both stations are owned by Murfin Music International.
