Sting FM

Sting FM is a pirate radio station, located in Birmingham, England. This is very specialised in Afro-Caribbean music, including reggae, hip-hop, R&B and others.

The station started going in May 1998. They claim to be Birmingham's first unlicenced radio station that uses very high standard equipment to broadcast. They also claim to care for the local community by refusing to broadcast explicit material during the daytime as well as broadcasting various material to bring different communities together.

The station often broadcasts advertisements for local cultual events. Even though the signal is broadcast from the city centre, listeners within Birmingham, but outside the city centre may experience difficulty receiving it.

Sting FM broadcast on 107.5 FM and are one of the very few radio stations which do not have an official website or broadcast online.
