About Us

Eden FM Community Radio serves the towns of Edenderry, Clonbullogue and Rhode in County Offaly, Ireland. The station is staffed by volunteers and broadcasts on-line every weekend from 9am – 10pm daily.

YAG FM

The station started its life as a youth station called YAG FM (Youth Action Group) and was run by the Youth Café Edenderry and a local family. The station was licenced by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland under a thirty day Temporary Broadcasting Contract. The station was based in the Youth Café and was youth led. It broadcast for seven days in June and December 2013 and March 2014. The station returned for a second license run from June 2014 broadcasting this time from Saint Mary’s parish centre.

Eden FM

In 2015 the station returned again this time under new direction and calling itself Eden FM. The station now focused on community events and news and attracted new presenters and supporters. The station returned again in 2016/17. At the end of the 2017 the station found itself without a studio location and future license run’s were put on hold while the station searched for a new studio location.

New Beginnings – Eden FM Community Radio

In late 2018 a local business man offered the use of a premises in O’Connell Square, our present home. A lot of work was required to get the building ready to broadcast from and in 2019 the station returned to air this time calling itself Eden FM Community Radio. In the years up to and including 2025 the station has gone from strength to strength. A purpose built state-of-the art radio studio has been built and we are in the process of building new toilet facilities and installing a new frond door. All this work is on going as funds permit.

We have built partnerships with Offaly County Council, Edenderry Municipal District Councillors, Offaly Volunteer Centre, Creative Places Edenderry, Edenderry Library, Creative Lives, Local Organisation’s, Religious groups, Sporting groups, local businesses, NGO’S and other local and related organisation’s.

At present the station is putting together an application for a 100 day temporary license that we hope to submit to Coimisiún na Meán shortly. If granted this license would see us on-air for 50 weekends, almost a entire year.
