FCUM Radio
[for the fans, by the fans]

FCUM Radio was born from the same stable as FCUM.TV, it was decided during the summer of 2007 that the radio should take its own identity.

Despite some of our best efforts it appeared [due to financial problems] that FCUM Radio would cease in August ‘07….

…Enter the Armchair ARMY.

During the FA CUP game against Trafford – Set to be the last broadcast, our talented? presenter Swampy decided to go with “SWAMP-A-THON” an on-air challenge to ask the Armchair Army to raise funds for the radio service.

During the game over £500 was pledged and by the time we had set up mechanisms for recieving payment over 70% of the pledges came in. The response was enough to convince the team to keep at it, and over the next few weeks the Armchair Army pledges kept coming.

We have since had some alternative funding for FCUM Radio, that together with the AA money will help keep the program on-air. It should be noted that all equipment purchased for the FCUM Radio project, will remain in the ownership of FCUM Radio and will become an asset of the club [FC-United of Manchester].

FCUM Radio is supported by the ArmchairArmy & ‘Topped-up’ by Under the Boardwalk.
