Rugby FM

It's Rugby FM's 8th Birthday today... Back in 2002 Rugby didn't have its own radio station, until Martin Mumford changed that by launching Rugby FM on 107.1FM. The first voice to be heard on air was - Trevor Thomas (Fellow Doctor Who fan) Rugby FM has always proved very popular with audiences and is still Rugby's number one commercial radio station for news, music and travel. Happy Birthday Rugby FM...
